"Sir, I understand that you are on good terms with Leon, but…"
Clearly unhappy with how my words cost him the initiative, the leader of the officials put on a sour smile while trying to work the magic of his words.
"Just to make sure you are aware, but I don't think he's throwing his words on the air," Makary spoke calmly, the twitching of the corner of his mouth betraying how he was holding back a smile. "So you know, if I were in your shoes, I would sooner pry my own eyes out than dare to look at his woman again."
I looked over at the man, slightly taken aback by how he took my side, even though I was obviously overreacting. Or I would be overreacting if this wasn't about Fay.
