The Best in Him
Little did the two women know that their waves of laughter from inside the carriage were resonating towards the outside of their own privacy. Darius and Nikolai were riding their horses just a further back from the carriage, and they could hear every giggle and chuckle from their significant others.
"Siblings…" Darius commented as he shook his head.
"Not all siblings get along well though," Nikolai pointed out with a scoff.
Darius hummed. He didn't comment on the subject since he was well aware that Nikolai's family was currently a hot mess.
Seeing his friend's silence, Nikolai let out a breath and continued, "The news came… My wife wants to go help look for her brother."
"I see," Darius commented. "I'm still in a dilemma on whether to tell Xen about it or not, but the message from her parents was clear. They don't want Xenia to get distracted. Somehow, they seem confident that Ezekiel is not in danger."
