"Nymeria?"
The elven woman smiled softly. "We meet again, Himmel."
Confused, I looked at Daina who stood on the side.
"It was Lady Nerissa's idea," she replied, looking away. "I couldn't do anything about it."
I let out a sigh as I rubbed my temples with my free hand.
"So, did you not notice me sneaking up on you?" Nymeria asked, jerking my hand.
"I thought you were just some random elf," I replied, looking at her. "You all look the same anyway."
Nymeria's smile twitched. "Careful. You'll hurt my feelings."
I gave her a look. "I doubt you have any."
"I really like that face of yours, that doesn't trigger me," she replied, looking at my face. "Don't make me ruin it."
I leaned forward. "Try it, ug—"
Daina cleared her throat. "Enough. We're short on time."
Nymeria turned her gaze to Daina, then suddenly pulled my hand tighter, forcing me a step closer.
They began to move and I was dragged along.
With some peace of mind, I looked at the handcuff that was on my hand.
