Nothing has changed

The following morning.

Jasmine pushed around the oatmeal on her plate with her spoon as she watched Dairon opposite her. Everything was normal for him, or at least he made it seem that way with his nonchalance. Her night had been a mess and she didn't know what to say of the fact that none of it seemed to affect him.

"What's wrong? Don't you like the food?" He asked when he realized that her food was untouched.

She shook her head and. "Everything's alright. I don't remember what happened to my mission." She shovelled a spoonful of oatmeal into her mouth but it tasted no different from Bardumond's insanely bitter herbal concoctions. She forced herself to swallow it down with Dairon still watching her.

"It was cancelled because Sinos returned. Have you forgotten?" He raised an eyebrow, responding to the question about her mission with a lie.
