Rina opened her mouth as if to scream, but Evanna waved her hands and pulled her mask and hood down. "It's me! It's me!" She whisper-shouted. Rina shut the door behind her, leaning up against it as her hand raised to her face in shock. The elf then looked at the fairy on her shoulder and raised her brow in question.
"This is my friend," Evanna murmured as she slowly approached Rina.
"Are you.. Are you leaving?" Rina stuttered, her eyes filling up with unshed tears.
Evanna inhaled sharply. She didn't want to see her friend cry. "I have to, Ri," Evanna reached out and clasped her by her hands, staring intently at the elf.
"Nothing would ever happen to you here, my lady.. The prince, he may seem cold, but he adores you. Has he not treated you well here? Have we not.. kept your secret?" Rina searched her eyes, the tears beginning to spill down her cheeks.
