You watched with bated breath as Karen scolded the elf prince for his demeanor towards Luger. You were a student of Vigo's that had been sent to help Emily and her family in her journey. You hadn't expected to make friends with the Elf King's sons along the way. Well, "friends" wasn't quite the word...

"You should've just left us alone when you had the chance," Trellis growled. Karen looked ready to snap back, but Emily quickly deflected.

"Mom, I need you to come help with this," the redhead said, leading Karen out onto the deck of the airship. You released the breath you'd been holding since the fight began. The room was now empty save or you, Trellis, and Luger.

Your pale pink stone felt heavy around your neck. You rubbed it idly with your thumb, sliding off the counter you'd been sitting on. You expected Trellis to storm off like he had about twenty times since being brought on the airship. But he didn't even move as you came up right beside him.
