The following day.
Jasmine's hand trembled as she forced herself to take a few sips of her breakfast tea. Bardumond, Sinos, Scarlet and Dairon were at the table too and it couldn't get any more awkward. It was normal for the gods to be here since they were close to Dairon but what was Scarlet doing here? Besides, why wasn't anyone saying a word?
"Are you back?" Sinos asked her with a light laugh.
"What do you mean am I back? I've been here for as long as you have been." She sipped her tea and tried not to glance in Scarlet's direction.
Alas, her attempt at reading the goddess's mind failed. She wasn't sure what made it possible at certain times and impossible at others so she gave up trying. She spoke up after a few more forced sips.
"Why are you really here?" She swept her gaze across them, trying to sound as calm as possible. "Sinos?"
