The way Azrianna fell into his arms alarmed him. She hadn't even felt heavy. Her body was light and even seemed to suspend in air for a moment.
"Oh... I am sorry, my love. I am just so tired lately. I meant to come to your chambers,but once my head rested against my pillows, I fell asleep." Her voice was whispered and she sounded faint.
"I can see that. How about I take you with me? That way you can rest, and I get to be with you." He offered with a smile he had faked to keep his rage in check.
"That would be....lovely." Came her gentle reply.
As much as he wanted to go right into interrogation, he instead took to his questions with finesse.
"So..." He started as gently as possible. "What did you do tonight? You look like you gave it your all, whatever it was.
As suspected, she sugar coated what he already knew.
"We..had a setback with restoration today. There was a lot to rebuild. Many to heal, too."
