Aftermath

-Just wait here and keep an eye out - Gabriela cautioned - I believe we are in the clear for now, but let's make it safe. I will keep the warding on the room, so you will not be able to leave until I come back.

- Can you give me some answers afterwards? - He needed to know what he had gotten himself into.

- Well, why not? But let it not be here. Why don't we get the book and go out to eat somewhere? Battles make me hungry - She smiled at him with a twinkle in her eye. At the mention of food, Sebastian felt that he was starving. And looking at her he knew it was not only for food. But let's take steps one at a time, he thought to himself.

He was impressed by her. She was beautiful, clever, and mysterious. A witch and a warrior. How could a man be impartial to that combination? And during their limited conversations, she had a wicked sense of humour as well. Ha, wicked, he smirked to himself.

- What are you smirking about? - she asked him while moving to the door.
