Chapter 40

I met Laura and Thorne at the Chambers where they were eating.

“What was that weird thing she said about my ego?” Thorne asked me when I joined them. “Am I such a proud man?”

I and Laura stared at each other, trying not to laugh.

“What's that movement you're making with your eyes?” Thorne said when he saw us speaking with our eyes. “Am I that proud?”

“Yes, you are.” I said teamed back at him and he looked to Laura for her answer.

“Well, I just met you. I'll give you an answer in a week's time.”

“Why would you say I was proud?” Thorne faced me, frowning.

“You are.” I said avoid his eyes.

He didn't stop staring. “Tell me how.”

“Well, the first time I met you, you spoke so highly of yourself, your muscles and the fact that you're a warrior.” I told him.

“Well, I'm sorry if that gave me off as being proud.” He apologized and continued eating.

“This is delicious actually.” Laura pointed at the food expressing her joy.

“Yes. It's really nice.” I agreed. “They make the best food, I bet you.”
