754. Horde of Humans

It has been two days since Jael found out Mauve used magic to set the Paler ablaze, resulting in its death, and no conversation about it has been brought up since then. Mauve did try, but she only used subtle hints that Jael didn't buy into.

Unfortunately, she couldn't push it, as she knew it would be best to give Jael more than enough time to think about it, but Mauve found herself growing impatient, and it was obvious she wasn't the only one.

Louis would occasionally make eye contact with her at the dining hall, but sadly they couldn't do more than that. Jael had given Mill strict orders not to let Mauve out of her sight. At least she was no longer confined to her room, but wherever she went, Mill went with her. Mauve understood Jael's distrust, but it was still annoying.
