Caster stared at him for a long time, then suddenly laughed. Even Cassie giggled, entertained by Sunny's earnest delivery.
Shaking his head, the handsome young man smiled and said:
"I see your sense of humor did not change. Good, that is good. Few people manage to preserve it here."
Sunny blinked a couple of times and said, pretending to be offended:
"What do you mean, sense of humor? It's the honest truth."
He received another bout of laughter instead of an answer.
'...There was food, safety, and laughter,' he thought suddenly, remembering how Cassie had described the Bright Castle after dreaming of it for the first time.
She had also seen Sunny leading her through its gates. Her prophetic visions were turning out to be frighteningly accurate.
'Makes you wonder about that other vision she saw…'
Not allowing himself to become distracted, Sunny chased away the ominous feeling and hid a smile. Then, with a shrug, he scoffed.
