"Vivienne, what's the meaning of this? Why would you pair them up like that?"
Carin had heard about the interaction between the student Dorian and her own trainees. She struggled to understand why her friend would pair the two groups up like that, especially when two of them were such close companions.
Rune was the son of a woman who was like a sister to them, and Fleur was saved by the two at a young age. They spent a fair bit of time traveling together until they found other members of her race willing to take her in.
She had become something like a daughter to the two women, which was why Vivienne always went to such great lengths to protect the girl and keep any information about the incidents involving her charm from being leaked to Elysium. It was strange for her to put them in danger like this.
