#Chapter42
Lycus and Kalen stayed for a while, and whatever Lycus was angry about even bothered Kalen as he repeatedly asked what was wrong. Lycus only growled before eventually storming out, saying he had to take care of something.
It was now dark, and I wondered how long they would let Kalen stay. What I was most surprised about was that Lycus had left me alone with him. That never happened; Kalen was always chaperoned around me, but whatever pissed him off must have made him forget that I was alone with him.
/"I wonder how long until he realizes?/" Kalen murmured, and I looked at him.
/"Realizes what?/"
/"That he left me alone with you. Darius will be furious,/" Kalen answered, and I nodded, hoping I wouldn’t cop the brunt of that fury. With a sigh, I stood up, and Kalen looked at me.
/"Where are you going?/"
/"To shower, and you should go before we both get in trouble,/" I told him. He nodded and got up.
