In the tension-filled silence, Dignus raised his voice. "I seem to recognize the scent of someone familiar," he said in a hesitant tone, breaking the silence that surrounded them. His eyes stared intently at Taneaya.
He glanced at Taneaya with obvious curiosity, trying to catch a hint in the woman's reaction. However, before he could get an answer or even formulate words that would express his curiosity, Eran suddenly moved quickly and blocked Dignus.
Dignus glanced at Eran who stood in Taneaya's way, and he could read the gesture. But even though he understood that there was something that needed to be explained, the atmosphere became increasingly tense.
Eran, with a calm demeanor, tried to explain this complicated situation. "I'm sorry Dignus, this friend of mine was seriously injured while on this mission. Therefore, I ask for your understanding," he said in an apologetic tone, trying to ease the tension that felt so strong.
