At Keen Manor, Silver Crescent Pack Territory
A deafening silence reigned inside the carriage between Clara and Gilas even after they'd reached the Keen Manor. While this wasn't the time the first time they'd been there, this time, Gilas's mother, Shila, looked quite surprised to see them. Seeing that, Clara assumed that Gilas hadn't informed his mother of their sudden visit unlike before. His mother was probably ill-prepared today, not having the usual feast prepared for them whenever they would arrive.
"Son, you didn't inform me that you two will be coming?" Shila light-heartedly complained. "I'll have to ask the cook to prepare something good for you two. Good thing you two at least arrived early."
Gilas didn't answer her. Instead, he gave his mother a tight embrace as soon as they got inside the house.
