Something was definitely going on, and he was determined to find out what it was.
Darius, however, seemed less invested. "You think he's hiding something?" he asked quietly.
Medrick sighed. "I don't know," he admitted. "But I'm going to find out."
Darius sighed deeply "Hmm, you should find out I'm sure something's wrong with Lucien."
"That's cleary what I'm saying, he's never been this defensive of anyone before... Something's definitely going on..." Medrick loosened up his tie in frustration.
Darius turned, folding his arms across his chest. "You're not the only one who thinks so. He's been acting... different lately. More defensive, especially when it comes to Aria."
Medrick exhaled deeply, rubbing his temples. "Exactly. Lucien's never been the type to stand up for anyone. He's always kept his distance, let alone with someone he claimed to hate. And now, suddenly, he's defending her, arguing with us over her treatment? It doesn't add up."
