The Old Mistress spoke with a hint of a smile that she couldn't suppress at the bottom of her eyes, as though something had amused her, then she turned to Landon once more, and continued—
"I knew it, you two were a perfect match. You've been looking much healthier lately! Had I known, I would have paired you up sooner; perhaps your health would've improved long ago.

As she spoke, Polina Powell handed the bowl of soup to Landon.
Landon glanced at her and walked aside to pour two glasses of water.
He took a look, silently accepted them, and placed them aside, without drinking.
