Snow Lake

No one spoke for sometime; Ayaan looked at Leafwhisk and changed the topic. "Do you think that Vylan was speaking truth?"

"Who is Vylan?" Leafwhisk asked in confusion.

Ayaan looked at her with mouth agape, trying to speak something but couldn't make any sound. "Seriously?" he shook his head.

"Is he someone very important? Do I know him?" 

Ayaan looked at Leafwhisk's confused face and realised that she seriously didn't know who Vylan really was. He smiled bitterly. "The Mayor's name was Vylan. He said that he had informed about us to the Empire. Do you think he was lying or speaking truth?"

"Oh," she blinked and took a small bite from a sandwich elegantly. Ayaan waited for her to continue. Only after chewing the bite completely did she reply . "He might be lying, or he might be telling the truth. Does it matter?"
