"Leave him," ordered Andras quietly.
The others from the inner circle slowly backed away from Robin.
Determined to put a little distance between Andras and themselves.
Everyone knew that the quieter Andras got the hotter his temper would be when he exploded.
Like a ticking time bomb no one wanted to be anywhere near the top of the volcano when it was about to erupt.
Or they would find themselves running for their lives and slipping down on a harsh, active volcanic slope.
Andras didn't get the title The Vulcan for no reason; his past still inspired fear in others.
Robin told himself that Andras did not want him to feel embarrassed with everyone crowding him all at once and asking if he was alright.
By Andras doing it alone and helping him to his feet it made things less disgraceful as everyone returned to their evening meals.
Back to their former conversation at their tables and pay attention to their plates while ignoring the klutz on the floor.
