You’re The Unreasonable One

ZINA

Zina sat stiffly like she was set between two stones. All the while she wondered why Daemon wasn't saying anything to Kairos but simply kept on downing more and more of his red wine.

Unable to take the silence anymore, Zina spoke. "Is it not a little too salty to be drinking?" She whispered, hoping not to draw any attention to them, but failing at that exact task as all attention was now on them.

Daemon smiled, swirling the crimson content of his glass. "And yet, I am far from being drunk."

"Is anything the matter?" She asked in a vain attempt to hold their conversation so he would be the first to speak on the matter of the masked man's identity.

"Not at all." He simply answered while gulping down more and more of his wine.

Since he wasn't taking the bait, Zina decided it would be best if she pressed forward. "So Alpha Kairos is back," she muttered while resting her eyes squarely on the arena.
