Chapter Fifty-Six

Zephyros, Bren and Morpheus sat outside, talking about war and numbers and weapons, and Vivi had pulled me into the tent she shared with Morpheus, alongside Nyx shortly after the conversation had taken such a turn.

Vivi found the grim expression on my face hilarious and kept laughing at my discomfort while Nyx kept biting on her lower lip and stealing glances at Bren from the open flap of the tent.

"You should go talk to him." I said, picking at my long white nails and flicking away invisible dirt from it. I had evened out the fine nails before leaving but they were growing uneven again, making my fine slender fingers seem a little unkempt.

"I don't know what to say." She admitted with a defeated sigh and ran fingers through her brown hair.

"You could start with apologizing." I offered and her lips formed a frown.

"And what makes you think I'm at fault here?"

Vivi folded her hands behind her head and relaxed as she watched the two of us.
