Sam opened her mouth to reply when Brynhild cut in immediately.
"Not now. This is not the time for that conversation."

"We need to get to the council hall. Helios and Jeffrey are likely already waiting."
Sam closed her mouth slowly.
She nodded.
"…Alright."

"I thought Jeffrey already told you everything."
Orion shook his head once.
"No."
Sam's gaze dimmed in understanding.
She turned back toward her door, locked it, and they began the walk to the council hall.
