Chapter 43: Good News

Zalena had been woken from her sleep by muffled voices drifting in from the hallway, she grumbled in protest and attempted to tug the pillows over her head so she wouldn’t have to get up yet. But, she realized that Rowyn was no longer by her side, and sighed as she sat up, stretching with a yawn as she got out of bed and made her way over to the door. She opened the door and leaned against it, a smile spreading across her features as she saw Rowyn talking to both of the healers. The one from Fallen Grove looked over at her and offered a small wave.

“Good morning, what brings you all here so early…? It’s not even quite eight yet, and here you are talking rather loudly outside the bedroom door.” Zalena said, amusement clear in her tone as the three of them had enough nerve to look embarrassed at that. “I don’t mind it, don’t look embarrassed. I should have clarified when I wanted you to be present.”
