I think she had good intentions, and if she didn't it's my fault for listening to her. I should still go and... what do I do?" "Don't worry about it," Mitis told him calmly. "We still have Tiernan here, and he should be able to get the kingdom on his feet. Especially with Sykel's help." Haly missed the last part.

"You are angry, aren't you." "Yes! Yes, I'm very angry, but I know that if you leave while I'm mad, I'll be mad at myself later for letting you leave. So don't. Come interview Ashli with me, because if I do it, I will probably strangle her halfway through." She stalked out of the room. Mitis shrugged and followed her, but waited for TAAron first. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
