Keith came with a glass of honey lemon tea for her to drink.

"They quickly acted per your advice; so far everything is under control."
[But there are still matters needed to be addressed.]
"They're waiting for you, I suppose."
[That's fine.]
"...Are you alright?"
Her glances went sharp when he asked out of the blue. [Did you doubt me? I thought we had a quick test about the scrolls and potions I made before this day…]
"It's a lot but…" he trailed off his voice, scratching his head. "I never understood why you must continue to act like a villain."
