Mistrust Within

Tina had given the scroll to Diamant and when she wanted to return the keys back to her, she discovered that she had lost them.

She rushed back in search for them, nearly bumping right into Natty again.

"Careful there." Natty steadied her quickly, a smile on her face.

"I--I..."

"You must be looking for this." She raised the keys up in her hand and Tina breathed in relief.

Whatever punishment that would have made her go through had now been avoided. Although, she knew that Diamant wasn't like that, the fear was just there, something that she couldn't shake away.

"I saw it on the floor over there." Natty placed the keys in a slightly shaky cupped hands.

"Th--thank you so--"

"I have told you, you don't have to be scared of me." Natty gave her a reassuring smile and Tina relaxed a little.

"How is my friend?"
