CHAPTER FORTY-SEVEN

MAEVYTH

S omehow, eleven days managed to slip by.

I spent most of the time studying bones and scrolls with Dolion and Allura, cooking dinner with Magdah, teaching Rykaia how to make weavers–a skill she didn’t entirely have the patience for. And on the very few days when Zevander hadn’t been summoned to some obscure location that he never bothered to disclose, I trained with him. In the evenings, he’d take me down to the dungeon to feed and sing to Branimir. A few times, Rykaia had joined us, and the two of us sang silly songs, while Zevander watched from the shadows. As I’d become more familiar with his family, though, he seemed to grow more reticent. I’d caught him staring at me a few times. Long, unabashed stares that’d stirred thoughts of that day in his office. Nothing had ever come of those stares, though.
