Yam and Elara

A month passed. 

Standing on an arched bridge, leaning against the stone railing, Lith and his ladies watched many gondolas glide towards them. 

Standing beside Keith, Lith suddenly elbowed her sides when he noticed a particular gondola's passengers. 

"Heh. You kept asking why I spent so much time with the boy, right?"

He caught the attention of the ladies and they turned to look at him, wondering what he was saying and to whom. 

Keith, knowing she hadn't asked him such a question, rolled her eyes and replied, "Didn't ask."

"…" The ladies raised their eyebrows in amusement at the reply. 

Fanny was extra surprised watching her mother's reaction. Lately, she had been showing a lot of emotions and although she still spoke in one-liners, the frequency of that had definitely increased!

Except Fanny and Lith, the ladies couldn't figure out what Keith meant by her two words.
