Ascension ceremony

“Hi, Seth. I wondered if you would help me with some questions I had about the sixth shell.”

Seth looked at Henrietta and said: “Tell the other girl I’ve left when they are done.”

Seeing her nod, he walked up to Hollie and extended his arm to her. “I was closing, but I can answer as I accompany you to your room.”

Hollie took his arm, and they started walking toward the dormitory.

“Won’t the others speak about you walking like this with me? What would Maya think?”

“What do I care about others? And about Maya, I don’t think she would care that much. Even if she did, it wouldn’t be in the way you’re thinking. So, what did you want to ask me?”
