Liseran had been trying to focus on reading when she heard someone behind her. It was Valen. She frowned and tried to ignore him, but then he started apologizing.
"That wasn't what I was mad about," she grumbled. "Well not entirely!"
He continued to speak until he said something that made all of Liseran's reflexes trigger at the same time. She froze, her face flashing bright red as she stood there confused. She barely had time to demand an explanation when Valen touched her face and made her face him and--
For a second time, Liseran could feel tears rushing up to the edges of her eyes, but she quickly stopped them. Liseran really wished she had a charge because she would've bound Fable right then and there. Cheeks burning, she moved over to Remi. She sat on the edge of the bed as she watched Remi sleeping peacefully. She gently touched her arm.
"I'm sorry I kept leaving you behind," she murmured, almost inaudibly.
Remi nuzzled against Liseran's body and smiled in her sleep.
Meanwhile, Valen would notice the captive start stirring. The woman let out a pained groan and started opening her eyes.
