"Is this why you asked Heraz to follow the Hero?" Natha asked after Heraz left the room to get on with his new mission.
"Yeah, why else would I care about him?" I shrugged. "I need to track when they would arrive in the Lair and contact you."
And avoid a potential bloodbath--but I didn't tell him that.
"Huh..."
Natha made a face as if he was in a daze, like he was thinking of his past attitude and probably regretting it a bit. I shifted closer to poke his cheek and grinned. "Hehe...do you finally realize your jealousy is ridiculous?"
He raised his brow at my words and twisted his lips for a bit. Was he feeling embarrassed? I did not really know how he looked when he was embarrassed because he had been preventing me from looking at it.
"No," he replied dryly, making his face flat.
