I gave King Cynfael a cold gaze that lasted quite a while before I finally broke eye contact and answered, "Shouldn't your son be here to hear my answer?"
With that, I raised my hand to open the door then pulled the prince inside the room. I slammed the door shut again as the stunned prince walked over to where me and the king are seated. He carefully sat next to his father as his eyes never left my face.
We had a little stare down with me, having a calm smile on my face while he had that kind of look as if he was blaming me but at the same time he had a ton of things that he wanted to say and ask me. I was the first to break the eye contact as I looked at Cynfael and notioned for him to tell his son what has transpired so far.
