Disconnecting
The next few days, Kir had nothing to do but occasionally answer questions for Lumin.
That night, Amarena ran out of patience. Kordia and Stella were absent from the room, checking in on Sam, so it was just the two of them.
"There's something I need to tell you." She pointed at Kir. "Come with me."
Kir, who had been sitting by the window looking out at the small garden, frowned. "Why note here?"
"I can't take this sitting around. I'm going to lose my edge," she'd been pacing back and forth in the room for most of the hour before talking to Kir. Now, she walked over to the couch and pulled her sword out of the crack between cushions.
"Wait for Lumin. I'll ask her to find someone for you," Kir sighed.
"I'm not waiting for anyone; least of all waiting for you to accept the reality of what happened."
