Seth and Ruby got to their chambers with nothing but silence between them. While Seth closed the door, he changed back to his usual form then turned around to look at Ruby.
"Hi."
Ruby was stunned. "Hi? Hi? Really? Is that what you would say to me first?"
"What do you want me to say? I am at a loss for words right now," Seth replied with a little pout as he walked to the chest where some of his clothes were and picked up a fresh new set. He swung the fabrics onto his body and threw himself on the chair that was around there in exasperation.
Ruby just stood and watched him. Her mouth would open like she wanted to speak but would close back because nothing was coming forth.
"Argh," she sighed and began to pace.
Seth's palm covered his face and he peeped at her through the space between his fingers. He could tell that she was disturbed but what he dreaded now was the part where he would have to explain and finally tell her about the real reason he was in the queen's chambers.
