- Nicole? – the witch's surprised tone was replaced by cold disdain at the sight of the strong physique of a man who smelled like a werewolf.
Urum behaved with restraint, as promised to Nicole. She, in turn, assured him that she would be able to solve everything peacefully.
Nicole threw off her former tension and greeted her acquaintances with all her composure. Two of the five witches were familiar to her from the witch school, and the other three looked a little older and more skeptical.
- I haven't seen you for a long time. Where have you been? – although the girl was addressing Nicole, her gaze was brazenly, without pretense, nailed to the Urum.
- I had an important assignment, Ashley. - she replied calmly. – This is not what they shout about on every corner, do you understand?
- Will you explain? – demanding, but gently, the witch asked. – I see you have wonderful company.
