"We meet again," Laina declared calmly as she put down the cup of tea on the table before turning to Cordelia.
From beyond the door, they could hear the muffled shouts of Florin and Kol.
"Laina! She's dangerous!" Florin yelled.
She did not panic. She glanced over to the door, then back at Cordelia, who had a large grin across her face. It did not take long for Laina to realize that a barrier spell had been cast to keep unwanted interruptions out. There were not many people who would be able to break the barrier.
"I'll be alright, Florin, don't worry," Laina yelled back, hoping to reassure them.
But she knew them well enough, they were in a state of panic. They would do anything to get to her. For now, Laina was focused on the person who stood before her.
"What do you want from me, Cordelia?" she went straight to the point.
