Mission(1)

They had their breakfast in silence. It was a little more bearable than each having it on their own. As soon as she was done, she stood to leave without saying another word.

"Jasmine?" He called after her.

She turned wordlessly and looked at him, even though she could pretty much guess what he wanted to say.

As expected, it was about her mission.

"If your mission involves anything I could help you with…" He started and stopped when she narrowed her eyes at him.

Why did he think she wanted his help? "I'll be alright on my own." She almost snapped.

"But it might be difficult. It's going to involve the sea and you do know that you and the sea are enemies."

His statement made something finally make sense. It was just a speculation on her mind but she couldn't help wondering if the sea rejected her so much because she had gotten close to someone else's mate, who just happened to be a water demigod.
