Rion looked into her garnet eyes and responded,
"We aren't changing our plans. Before, the feast was both a meeting place for the group leaders and a trap for the Ruler of Purple; now, instead of a trap, it is a place for the tribe to share their sorrow and move forward."
The hut fell silent for a moment until Dora laughed.
Listening her laugh, he furrowed his brows and asked while scratching the back of his head, "What are you laughing at?"
She looked at him with a smile and replied, "Vice Lord had already guessed that you'll do that, so he already made all of the preparations... I just found how spot on he was, funny."
"Marin made all the changes... that's good," he mumbled under his breath and asked, "So? Why are you here?"
She inched closer to him and answered softly, "I just came to check on you."
"I am fine," he said with a genuine smile stretching across his face.
