Kris Cooper was holding a bowl of porridge, and when he saw her sit down across from him, he hesitated for a moment but eventually spoke up.
"Vera, there's something I need to tell you."
She picked up a bun and stuffed it into his mouth, "Finish your meal first."
He continued eating, not speaking until he had finished stuffing several small buns into his stomach, with not a grain of rice left in the bowl.
"It's about... Nathan Leafcastle."
"Brother Nathan?"
"There's something off about him. He doesn't really want to make peace with us, so... to be cautious, I've made some preparations."
Vera didn't look too surprised; Kris Cooper had already mentioned this to her before.
She understood his perspective as his personality was always like this.
"How did you figure that out?"
"Intuition."
Intuition?
Vera pursed her lips, "To be honest, I... I didn't sense anything."
