Intensifying Worries

"I swear I kept my promise. I even took Clyde with me. Besides, she was absolutely harmless…"

After Vyan explained to Iyana why he had gone to visit the witch and what he talked about with her, Iyana grumpily pushed herself off the bed, muttering under her breath. 

"You are an idiot," was what he heard last as she dragged her feet to the bathroom. 

Vyan chuckled lightly and stayed put. He lazily stretched his arms and sank deeper into the warmth of the sheets. 

Finally, sleep, he thought, already planning to knock out the second she left. He yawned, barely managing to keep his eyes open.

The sound of running water brought him back for a second, and when she emerged from the bathroom, face wet and slightly irritated, she groaned dramatically, rubbing her cheeks with both hands. 

"Ugh, I have to change now to go out, and then I need to change again when I get to my quarters into my uniform. I swear, so much hassle."
