Chapter 454: Tea with Friends
Sweet.
The honey swirling in the hot tea was sweet. Its scent wafted up in the steam, tantalizing the nostrils.
“It’s good, right?” Plum asked excitedly.
“Hm? Yeah… It’s nice.” Stryg nodded distractedly and sipped his tea.
“Too sweet?”
“No, it’s fine.” He could taste the honey on his tongue, but it felt inferior to the sweetness he had experienced when savoring Tauri’s blood a few hours ago.
He glanced at the lovely orc sitting cross-legged across the short round table. The perpetual glower on her face and unending silence made him think she was still angry about what happened, though truth be told he was never good at reading others’ emotions.
Tauri had kicked him when she had come to after having her blood drunk. Things only got worse when she stubbed her toe against his hard shin. She had stomped off, well, more like limped away, while muttering curses at him. She was definitely angry at him, then again, she did come to Plum’s room at the drow’s invitation, knowing Stryg would be there as well. So perhaps she wasn’t angry after all?
“What do you think, Tauri?” Plum asked.
