Breaking the his silence

Inside of the alumni dormitory, Mikaela sat facing to two men while they paced back and forth.

"How was seeing your father?"

"The King is fine." Ailwin hated when people called that man his father.

"Okay…. Is there some reason why the two of you are playing tag?"

Braeden and Ailwin stopped mid-turn and looked at each other. Subconsciously they had been going around in circles following each other.

"Why are you pacing about?" Ailwin asked looking at his best friend. 

When the King had mentioned the honey tree problem, the first thing that popped into Braeden's head was Mikaela and that thing she did with the tree back at Ash city. He didn't know how the two are related, but he felt it in his bones that they were.

 The problem now was he couldn't tell Ailwin about it or anyone else for that matter.

"There is something I want to ask Miss Mikaela, but I don't know how…" Braeden gave Mikaela a pointed look.
