"Take a seat!" Crimson gestured to her to sit on the sofa in the private room which He chose on the same floor as his chamber.
"What is it you want to talk about?" Artemis asked anxiously before sitting nervously on the sofa.
Crimson nodded, pocketing his hands. "First you need to tell me, why did you look surprised when I called my mate Lora?"
Artemis looked down, recalling the painful memory from her past.
"It's my deceased daughter's name. I…" Artemis shook her head before looking up at him. "I'm sorry…I was just overwhelmed. Don't bother about it.."
Crimson stepped up in front of her, crouched down to her level and held her hands making her eyes go wide in surprise.
"Erix…"
"We have helped each other many times on many levels since you came here. You are like a mother to me and I know you take me as your son too, Artemis. Isn't it?"
