Maxine blinked almost immediately as the words slipped out of his lips. She sat upright. "What? Did you get attacked? You could have told me in the beginning!"
Without waiting for her to speak more, he drew her back to the bed, Maxine's eyes widened at the swift motion. She eyed him before saying, "You should have told me. Where were you injured?"
"I did get several injuries because I wasn't focused."
"Where else, I asked."
"You have no idea how much I was worried and at the same time furious. You could have died."
Maxine rubbed her tongue on her lips before she sighed. This was a typical foxed Maverick, always repetitive and a bit emotional. She asked him again, "Were you injured in your arm?" She paused. "Why the guards? The knights could have followed you while you were searching."
