Two months

While Esma was scolding Noah endlessly, Pel's gaze drifted to Tulip's direction but then he remembered that he had been lied to and he went straight to her with a solemn expression. "We need to talk"

Tulip was a bit confused but followed behind him with her arms folded she was wondering what he wanted to talk about but did not think too much.

Immediately they entered Pel's room he locked the door and stopped holding himself back. "Was it fun?"

Tulip's expression turned serious now she did not understand why Pel was so angry.

"You lied and used me..."

"Not really...I just"

"Just...I don't like the Tolens either but there was no reason for you to bend fact and blame everything on them, I'm pretty sure you guys were gaining from the Rift as well"

Tulip remained silent and die not justifying herself which made Pel more angry. "Say something...Please"
