"Is Rowena being nice to you?" Katherine asked, her tone casual but with a curious glint in her eyes as she glanced down at Cassian, who was massaging her leg.
Cassian, glad to finally have some time with her after being apart for a while, nodded with a smile. His hands worked gently near her knees as he replied, "Yeah, Lady Rowena's been treating me well, my lady."
"Really?" Katherine pressed, her eyes flicking back to the book in her lap, though her tone betrayed her interest. She turned a page deliberately and added, "She hasn't made you do anything... weird, has she?"
Her words carried a bit worried undertone, though she maintained an air of nonchalance as if she were only half-paying attention to his response.
