Sandwiched
Princess Inara and the female guards led the way back while Jin Wang stayed back. He was looking up at the night sky with a somewhat confused expression.
"So what happened to your grandmother? She wouldn't have sent you if she herself could come."
Princess Inara paused mid-stride momentarily before continuing. She was told not to hide anything from him but she didn't know him personally so naturally her guard was up.
"The Grand Priestess is busy dealing with the situation at the city. New refugees keep arriving every single hour and we have already run out of space in the city. Plus the demons..."
"The demons?" Jin Wang's brow locked in a tight furrow, "What demons?"
She pointed at the sky, "The ones falling from heavens and the ones coming from the depths of all. All kinds."
Her cryptic wording only added to his confusion, annoying him more than a little.
