"A spy? Are you out of your mind?" Castor replied, shaking his head in defeat. "I know that our enemies can be pretty determined, but do you really think they would send spies in such state to us?" he asked, without a hint of hostility in his voice. 

'It's as if he was too used and too tired to bother with the blabbing of this girl,' Layn thought, slightly changing his position on the stretcher.

"But..." Sitra started only to purse her lips and turn her head around, sulking.
