"Okay," he said finally.
Mars went back to sit next to Gewen and didn't say anything else. His expression looked flat. It no longer showed the pain and grief that he still had a few days ago. And that actually made Gewen feel worried.
It seemed, his friend had been numbed by his sadness and grief that now he couldn't feel anything anymore. He had been mourning in silence for three weeks.
Gewen also grieved for Queen Elara's death so he understood what Mars was feeling.
The queen was really kind to him and Edgar since they were little. Gewen had known Queen Elara for almost his whole life.
So, the relationship between them all was very close. Losing the queen in such a manner was also devastating for Gewen.
However, he didn't show his grief openly because, at this moment of pain, he wanted to be the rock that his friend could rely on.
