Lumiere's POV
I stood outside to let the siblings talk. My ears remained tuned to the door, just in case I heard Janeya using her whip on the already hurt Johan.
She walked out earlier than I expected with a flat expression. I left the wall I leaned on. "Isn't he awake?" That would explain her expression.
"The fool acted asleep. I could no longer stand it. And neither could she." Janeya touched the whip on her waist. "So I walked away."
"Good call." I back-stepped away from Johan's room and hoped she followed me for Johan's sake. She did and increased her pace to match mine.
She was silent as we walked back to the warriors' lodge. I opened the door, and she absentmindedly walked past it. I wondered if she would have crashed into it.
"You should've waited to see that."
