"Lumine, what happened? Why do you look so spooked?"
Yelena asked the question while Lumine gripped her hand tightly, hurrying her forward. The two of them were moving through a narrow underground tunnel. Originally, Yelena had been with the others when they arrived at the entrance of some underground structure that led into a network of tunnels. The difference was obvious at once—the silver torches lining the walls, the tunnels themselves clearly man-made.
Then, at some point, Lumine had somehow caught up to them without anyone noticing and quietly led Yelena away from the group.
No one had seen him approach.
How had Sir Felix, of all people, not noticed?
Or had he noticed... and simply chosen to ignore it?
"It just isn't safe."
It was the same answer he had given the last three times Yelena asked what was going on.
This time, though, she stopped walking and pulled hard enough on his arm that Lumine was forced to stop as well.
