Come the second day of Verrader begin unconscious, Evelyn was prepared to leave for the roost and carry him back, but thankfully he woke up not long after night had come.
When he came out from his chamber, he bowed his head to everyone else and apologized for inconveniencing them.
Immediately everyone could tell that something was different about Verrader.
Normally he felt like he was exuding and aura of self-importance, but now he seemed more reserved.
There was also the fact that he now stood closer to Evelyn when before there was a constant distance between them. Clearly something major had changed. Something more than just what Evelyn had explained.
In fact, the way that Verrader was sticking close to Evelyn as if to use her as a shield between him and everyone else showed that he was afraid that the others would rebuke him.
