Paralyzing Worry

Despite staying with Katerina being far more peaceful than having to share an inn with a bunch of rowdy knights, there were still a few challenges Siverly found himself facing.

As the Idonian mage felt better, she often backed Siverly into a figurative corner with her words. He found that he had to be on guard with her because she had a sharp, persuasive tongue.

The mage imagined that she was bored because he had told her she needed to stay inside until her mana was fully restored. She couldn't refute him or pretend to be better because he could easily feel her mana and where it was at that moment certainly wasn't enough to send a letter across the country the way she had done to the commander of the Knights of Hydrogia.

"It would be a beautiful day to go on a walk," Katerina mused first thing in the morning after getting dressed and coming into the main room of her house.
