Malakai's eyes scanned the faces of his party members, his gaze lingering on each one as if searching for a hidden truth.
His mind was a whirlwind of suspicion and uncertainty, wondering if his earlier doubts about Aric and Elara were justified.
But the bigger question was, were Leonar and the silent guy also involved in whatever was going on, or were they as oblivious as he was?
Elara's eyes met Malakai's, her expression curious as she turned to face him. "Hey, you good?" she asked, her voice tinged with concern.
The question was like a spark that ignited a chain reaction, causing everyone to stop and turn towards Malakai.
Malakai felt a surge of tension, his heart racing as he wondered if he had already tipped them off. Had his momentary lapse in attention revealed his suspicions?
