While Brance and Gabby conversed with Cinyah, Cynrik made a mad dash toward the dorms with Selene in tow.
"Darling, why do you keep avoiding your mother? You can't possibly be scared of her….can you?" Tucked under Cynrik's arm like a piece of luggage, Selene didn't mind her positioning and asked curiously.
Every time the topic had been brought up in the past, Cynrik was quick to avoid it, but never before had he reacted in the way he was currently.
"You don't get it, Sel; Mom is a beast even I can not deal with. Not to mention she has way too much incriminating evidence that can be used against me at a moment's notice." Thinking back to how he overheard his mother making fun of how he made a move on Maeve months ago, Cynrik understood that the instant he spoke with her with Selene present, Cinyah would bring up the topic.
