Some time later, Mordret was leaning on the wall in the circular hall containing the stone archway. The Princess of Shadows was on the lower floors of the Ebony Tower, looking around. He had cleaned the floor, so it was as spotless as before.
There was also a foldable army cot in the hall now, on which Song of the Fallen was laying, unconscious.
"Really, now… this woman is going to sleep through the end of the world."
Well, maybe not the end of the world. But the end of the Longing Domain, for sure.
At that moment, finally, the blind seer stirred. Mordret could not see if she had opened her eye because of the bloodied blindfold covering it, but he was pretty sure she was awake now.
Song of the Fallen… Cassia… sat up slowly and leaned on the wall, facing him. Her face was expressionless.
"How long was I out?"
Her tone was even, too.
Mordret smirked.
'Talk about spending too much time with Changing Star…'
Was the inability to emote infectious?
He shrugged.
