Suffocated Emotions

"THEY DID WHAT?!"

The moment Rey uttered those words, feeling a boiling anger within him that threatened to destroy the massive and elaborate room he and Kara occupied, all of his rage instantly simmered away.

"G-guh…" He held his chest, feeling the last bit of his anger flow away.

The very nature of it made him even more annoyed, but those emotions were also stolen from him in no time.

"Sir Rey, please calm yourself." Kara was not aware that Rey was already calm—calmer than ever—so she made a worried face as she spoke to him.

"The Elves made a terrible decision, but they mostly did so out of ignorance and their pre-existing bigotry. In fact, with all due respect, I would say all of this is due to the lack of attention you placed on Esme…"

As soon as Rey heard this, his brows were raised and he stared Kara dead in her eyes, causing her to squeak even more.

"What do you mean by that?"
