CHAPTER 74: The Uncaring Lad
Aella peeled her eyes open slowly as consciousness knocked into her body with a jolt that made her gasp out a little.
She met a tall figure sitting in front of her and it was only when he drew closer did she recognise who it was.
The charming face of Banelion came into view with his eyebrows furrowed as though in concern.
"Did you have another nightmare?" His deep voice rang as he spoke softly.
It took a few seconds for Aella to register what he said before she squeezed her eyes in exhaustion with a sigh.
"No, no, I slept fine," she shook her head as she faced the ceiling.
"But you don't seem so," he pointed out and she huffed.
"I think it was the dream that had me restless. Barely feel like I slept," Aella rose from the bed and she pushed her hair away from her face.
She turned her head to see Bane sitting in the same position he had been when she slept off last night.
