Kain's words slipped out before he could stop them. "So, Darius and the others finally found the Knight…"
Cherry froze while fussing over his hit face, "The what now?" she asked, confusion evident in her tone.
Kain blinked, realizing too late that he'd spoken aloud. "Nothing important," he said quickly, but then half-muttered again as if reading something, "...but they want to take care of him themselves?"
Cherry frowned. "Take care of who? What are you mixed up in this time?"
Kain waved her off, feigning nonchalance. "Just talking to myself. Don't worry about it."
Her glare deepened, but she didn't push further. Still, the unease on her face said enough—she was scared. Scared of whatever dangerous thing her brother was once again entangled in.
Inside, Kain wasn't nearly as calm as he pretended.
