She pressed her lips into a thin line, shrugging mildly. "Who knows?"
"Can you leave this place?" he asked despite having an answer in his head.
"Not yet," came out a hushed voice. "There's a lot of things I must do as the queen, Abel."
"I see…"
"Will you wait for me?"
"No."
A slight frown instantly dominated her face, staring into his eyes squarely.
"I won't wait for you, but I will accompany you. After all, Haimirich is still sleeping, and my sister will make sure it will stay the same for the time being," explained Abel calmly. "Until you can come home, I'll stay wherever you are."
"Your sister…"
"She's the one who woke me up."
"She did?"
