Keane remained seated after Joren finished speaking. The Veil of Shadows had taken an interest in him, and while that should have surprised him, it didn't.
Elara had already warned him, and before her, the unnamed adventurer had done the same. Joren was only confirming it from another direction.
"What exactly did you find out?" Keane asked as he rested one arm on the table.
"More than I wanted to." Joren said, rubbing a hand over his face. "Valewind has become a mess."
Keane remained silent and waited for him to continue.
"First, Lina is safe." Joren said after looking towards the door again and leaning forward.
"She's free?" Keane asked, his expression changing slightly.
"Yes. A few days ago."
"Elara released her?"
"I don't know." Joren answered after hesitating.
That wasn't the answer Keane expected.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean Lina was returned, but I don't know who gave the order."
