In a hallway in the inner court…
Ushka walked with Sierra, Rodnir, and Fenris. She had always liked the idea of strolling with Fenris. However, right now, she felt like she wanted to bolt. After all, Fenris didn't seem to be affected by the recent happenings. He almost died, yet he quickly returned to his normal mood. This also happened after Sisina's siege. They all realized how well Fenris could hide his trauma after that.
The deer princess glanced behind her, seeing how quiet Sierra and Rodnir were as well. She then cleared her throat to attract Fenris's attention. "Fenris… aren't you going to speak to us… to me… about… that? It's a little unfair, isn't it?"
"…I intend to discuss it with Melaka first. Until then, pretend that it never happened." Fenris smiled kindly, but his words sounded a little cruel. Ushka only stared at him.
