Chapter 55: Doubts
Sigil laughed heartily. "It's rare to find such a straightforward man. I think we can be good friends."
Theron smiled a gentle smile. It was refreshing in a way that was hard to describe, almost like one was taking a sip of the morning dew.
Looking at this side profile, Sadie found herself lost for a bit, a dull sort of pain flickering in her eyes for a moment. She was smart enough to tell that... whatever happened next would surely strain her and Theron's relationship beyond repair.

"This weekend I planned on having a welcome banquet. I think you should come. The young nobles of Thistle Brook and a few that have joined nearby Sects will be there. I think that you have more of a right to attend than any one of them. You will be my special guest."

With that, Sigil waved a hand and then left, his steps light and airy. Despite the fact they were very much inside and there was hardly a place to disappear to, he still seemed to.
In a few steps, he wove through the crowd and vanished.
