Darven;
I walk into the circle room and stop at the entrance when I see Kealith. He's sitting on a rock, one of his legs bouncing repeatedly, chin on his fisted hands, and eyes fixed on the circle.
I let out a breath as I walk further into the space, and only then does he notice my presence. He looks up at me briefly before looking back at the circle.
"Is it twenty-four hours yet? She should be back anytime soon, right?" He questions, and I look back up at the circle.
I force a smile before walking back to Kelaith and placing a hand on his shoulder.
"You've not had anything all day. It's almost time for dinner. Why don't you come up to eat? And then you can come back down." I say to him, and he looks up at me like I just asked him to do some abominable thing.
"You know I can't eat when I'm tense, Darven. I can't eat right now. I'll wait for her to get back. Then I'll eat." He says, and I'm about to speak when the door opens, and when we turn to it, it's Rhael and Sorin.
