What Happened?

"My Lady?" Thea was confused as to why her mistress stopped moving. Was she miming? Was this some kind of performance? Thea didn't know that her mistress wanted to be an actress.

She waved her hand in front of Lady Runa's face, hoping to see if she would snap out of it already. The longer this joke lasted, the less funny it became, and soon, Thea became annoyed.

"My Lady, are you alright? I will be mad if you're just joking with me. I was genuinely worried about you because of the things that happened to you recently. I know it must be tough, but you shouldn't joke like this. I can't take it."

When Thea almost touched her mistress' shoulder, Lady Runa suddenly took a deep breath. It was a strange sight, as if Lady Runa was drowning, and she had just returned to the surface.
