Cassian leaned in slightly, studying her face.

"Pale," he said. "Enough that I feel like heading back and putting Alaric through a wall."

Elowen let out a soft laugh.

Mira arrived at Falconcrest Manor not long after.

As Elowen's personal maid and a familiar face, she was recognized immediately at the gate.

The guard greeted her with an easy smile. "Here on Her Grace's business again?"
