OMAKE#17

It takes him a bit to get settled on the couch opposite me, I feel awkward all through for some reason. A part of me totally expects him to open his mouth and proclaim me a murderer or something for wanting to kill him then.

I'm not sure why but I'm very anxious about this. Still, it's good to see him moving.

He lets out a sigh and thanks the caretaker for her help. She nods and whispers something, he nods and she retreats to the back.

Then he directs his soft, kind smile towards me, "So, I hear you're the new Lady of the City," he starts his eyes drift between Hastra and I. 

I wonder if he's already been told the role Asher has in store for each of us and is about to demand I scoot over. The title 'Lady of the City' certainly seems new and almost even a mockery of my audacity.
