"Why are you looking at me like that?" Gewen narrowed his eyes suspiciously. "Is there something on my face?"
Bruinen shook his head. He was conflicted about whether he should tell Gewen about his suspicion or not. He and Gewen were not particularly close. So, he didn't have the obligation to let Gewen know if he was cursed nor to help him.
Besides, if he told this to Gewen... the man might become distraught and couldn't focus on his seemingly very important mission. If the king sent him to the enemy's land and Gewen was ready to die for it, it means the mission was extremely important.
Bruinen thought saying something bad now would just distract Gewen and could end up jeopardizing the mission or impacting him badly. So, finally, the young wizard decided to keep it to himself.
