Chapter 52: What am I?
Lord Vespertine played up the dramatics of the situation for quite some time after this, until both of them came to a realisation that...nothing was happening.
Nothing was happening.
Shocked, Cass sat back, staring at the goblet before him, with a dumb expression on his face. Even Lord Vespertine seemed shocked.
"Wait...how are you okay?" Lord Vespertine asked. Cass was just as confused as he was.
"Why am I okay?" Cass asked and both met each other’s gaze. Lord Vespertine was staring at him with confusion, and also a heavy amount of skepticism. Cass couldn’t blame him. He had no fucking clue what was going on.
He shouldn’t be okay. He knew he shouldn’t be okay. So why the fuck was he okay? His stomach wasn’t even rumbling.
No, wait, it was rumbling but like he was...hungry?
Cass felt his eyes go huge. Wait wait wait. This didn’t make sense. Lord Blackburn hadn’t behaved the same way as Lord Vespertine. He didn’t wear a hat to cover himself, he didn’t hide from sunlight, and Lord Vespertine was able to eat any kind of food. So this didn’t make sense.
Plus, he didn’t think-
"Lord Vespertine." Cass began carefully and Lord Vespertine watched him carefully.
"Yes, Lord Cassian?" He replied carefully. Both of them were weary of each other now, and Cass understood completely. Cass knew exactly what Lord Vespertine was, but Lord Vespertine had no clue what Cass was. Hell, Cass thought he was just a fairy from his Mother’s side, and human on his Father’s side, but clearly, something else was going on.
