"How was your meeting with the Elders?" she asked, her voice dripping with sweetness.Blaze

You disappeared without saying a word! I was so worried about you."Ryker turned around, his angry look making Emilia stop talking. "That's enough," he said sharply. "You're asking too many questions. I don't have to tell you anything."
