Fiona paced so restlessly in the main hall, arms crossed quite tightly over her chest. As soon as the weighty doors swung, her dad walked in, and she turned quickly toward him.
"Father! You're back!"
Lord Varian, a graying, tall man who had a well-maintained beard, took off his coat, handing it to an attendant. He slightly arched an eyebrow at his daughter's tense posture. "I exist. Though, from the look on your face, something tells me you're not here to welcome me peacefully."
Fiona huffed. "You won’t possibly believe the thing that happened."
Lord Varian chuckled softly, moving onward toward a plush chair near the fireplace. "I think that I shall, actually." He sat down, gesturing for her to continue.
Fiona wasted no time. "That very boy we saved—he tried to steal right from us! I caught him right in my own room!"
Lord Varian's brow furrowed quite slightly. However, he remained completely silent, allowing her to vent.
