Harsh Truth (Part 2)

"Good to know." A snap of Vastor's fingers brought the three of them into the same cloaked room where he had discussed with Zinya and Tezka earlier. "Okay, let's cut to the chase. Was the celebration about Solus' rescue or did Lith tell you about the baby as well?"

"He told us about the baby. It's a boy, by the way. How do you know?" Bytra had prepared a cover story but preferred to play it safe anyway.

"Zin. She told me everything that happened to her and Kamila during my absence. Like Lith expected, I bet." Vastor replied.

"What do you mean?" Zoreth said, feigning confusion.

"Don't worry, I don't care what he asked you not to tell me about Solus." The Master steepled his fingers. "As long he doesn't prod at my secrets, I'll return the favor.

"The reason I've brought you here is to discuss what Bytra has been hiding from me for a while."

"I'm not hiding anything!" She replied with the confidence of someone paying with a three-dollar bill.
