Chapter 90: Gossip
Evanna snapped out of her daze and spun on the spot, unaware that the once closed flower had slowly started to open, spreading its lilac petals. In front of her stood two she-elves, and after glancing at their luxurious attire, she knew they were noblewomen. Evanna bowed her head and watched as they did the same.
"Hello," Evanna greeted as she glanced at them. The pair looked very similar to one another, having brown eyes, light freckles on their perfectly symmetrical faces, and chestnut coloured hair that trailed down behind them. They wore light blue dresses of elven make that flowed down beautifully on their slender figures. The only difference between them was that the lady on the right had shoulder-length hair, pulled back into a plait.
"I am lady Lia, and this is lady Nienna. We are sisters." Lady Lia said. She was the she-elf whose hair was pulled back into a plait. Her smile appeared fake as her eyes portrayed a hardness that made Evanna wary of the two ladies. However, she could not be rude and turn away from them.
"I am-"
"Lady Evanna," Lady Nienna answered for her. She flicked her long strands of hair behind her shoulder as she openly scrutinised her. "I do not see it," She muttered to her sister.
Lady Lia giggled, "I know, neither do I."
Evanna immediately straightened her shoulders and composed her features with a calm façade. She instantly sensed vibes of ill intentions from them. Unfortunately, her senses did not work unless she was in danger; if they did, then she would avoid such dramas.
"I beg your pardon? I do not understand.." She stopped herself as their smiles grew.
The she-elves giggled and whispered purposely loudly and glanced at her as they did so. But they spoke in Muranthian, their back and forth very quick that Evanna kept glancing between the pair, unsure on who said what.
