Hidden behind the mask we see

Few hours passed and Ingus just finished his breakfast. Hordward was training so he wasn't sitting at the moment. Vardus was staring at Ingus, the latter felt unconfortable and couldn't help but gasp.

Ingus: "is…Is everything alright? You are making a scary face…"

Vardus jolted at that as he didn't realize he had been staring.

Vardus: "Sorry I was just thinking and kinda looked in the blank but you were right in there"

Ingus: "Well…I'm done eating…when am I supposed to meet the elder ?"

Vardus: "I dunno, I assume he will send someone to fetch you. I wish I could come with you but I was denied that, Father said the elder requested only your presence"

Ingus: "wait so I will be alone? That's…not what I imagined"

Vardus: "Yes, but don't worry, policy oblige that you will also be with a royal guard so I guess Elonidas will be with you"

Ingus face switched to relief and he sighed happily.

Ingus: " I feel better"
