Chapter 40: Burn

"What are you doing here?" Mort huffed as he looked at the bleached beauty staring at the brand that was glowing on the table ready to be used

The process of fixing a fake parasitic brand had garnered some attention and even Renee was couldn't help but huddle closer to witness the process. She had been harmlessly standing there all this while but now that Mort had questioned her she couldn't help but frown and glaring at him she said, "I can stay wherever I want, who are you to ask me that?"

Mort had been genuinely curious of her presence there because he had expected her to be in the meeting that Krentis had kept with Sasha, her abrupt and rough answer had soured his mood as well and he couldn't help but glare as he fired back, "No, it's hard to believe that you would be here with us since you hardly ever care about anyone."
