The next day was filled with packing for the journey ahead of them. Avalon and Grimore had minor controversies. Cassien and Xerves were at each others necks.She found the spectacle amusing.
She shook her head and took another look at the two. Where was Garnet? She wondered.
If anything he’d become suspicious in the last few days sneaking out of his chambers at odd hours of the night and returning early in the morning. That was information from her slithering companion. She had a feeling he was up to no good.
She patted the creature’s head absentmindedly. “Oh Hyacinth! It’s good of you to join us.” Xerves said once he spotted her sitting by herself. She just nodded without looking up. At this point she was used to his way of greeting her.
”Cassien and I were wondering whose ride you’ll join.” He added deliberately giving Cassien a look.
“How can I join another ride when His Grace’s ride is available.” She answered turning to Cassien.
