"What was that?" Sylas asked.
He had already had Nosphaleen help Tasia settle down. The two of them now shared the same home in the Duke District. Considering the size of the lot, it would have been more than enough for twenty people, let alone two.
What he didn't expect was that Nosphaleen would come back on her own to speak with him. They had been here for almost a week already, but this was the first time she had done this without it being triggered by outside interference.
Sylas had already realized that she was avoiding him somewhat. But it wasn't out of subterfuge… she was scared of him.
He was just fine with that. The more apprehensive she was around him, and the more respect she held in her heart, the less likely she would be to ever betray him.
"She's odd…" Nosphaleen said again, not quite knowing how to explain further.
This time, Sylas just waited for her to sort her thoughts. Eventually, she spoke again.
