"Clayton… how old are you?"
That deep and personal question, finally.
As soon as it was asked, the atmosphere changed. It felt like… all the hesitation disappeared and the die was finally cast.
An uneasy silence settled among the group, even as Veyra shifted uncomfortably, throwing subtle glances at Clayton.
Kaelin and Soren may not realize yet, but like Torren, she never dropped her suspicions about the weird nature of Clayton's existence. Afterall, it was not every day you get to see an Awakened warrior with green skin.
Not just that, his abnormal strength too, and the pervasive feeling that he had even more secrets that he was hiding despite the fact he'd told them so many shocking things about himself already.
This was the reason why she kept on looking out for clues even as she trusted him and never pushed him too far for the truth.
