After checking what the commotion was about, Caelius soon learned the cause of the disturbance.
The new healer Gideon had brought into the encampment had already caused trouble on his very first day of duty. The man was named Gwen, a commoner healer who worked under the sponsorship of the Hawthorne family.
From the start, Gwen had little patience for silence when it came to wrongdoing.
It was said that Gwen knew about Irlian's involvement in putting his master's benefactor in danger. Because of this, Gwen confronted him openly along with his words sharp and full of anger. What began as a tense exchange quickly turned into raised voices, drawing the attention of nearby healers and nurses.
For the past few days, Irlian had kept his head low.
With Arctelle gone, he had been careful not to anger anyone else, choosing silence over conflict. But this time, Gwen's accusations struck too close to the truth.
Unable to endure it any longer, Irlian finally lost his composure.
