The meal finished quickly and she was glad when it was all over. Lady Jevera didn't say a single word during the entire meal and she couldn't help but feel slightly uneasy about this. It didn't help that any time their eyes met, Mauve could feel a knife in her guts.
She was one of the first to finish eating and she rushed to her room without delay. Skipping all the way to her room. She closed the door and jumped into bed, grateful to be back in a comfortable space.
She lay on the bed unmoving, only her thoughts churned. Half the things happening around her confused her and it wasn't as though she could ask anybody. Mill was nice but she could recall Mill's reaction whenever she asked something she wasn't supposed to, she didn't want to relive that again.
