Edgar looked at Sam, and then looked at Gideon standing on either side of him. He took a deep breath in, held it to lower his racing heart, and then let it out.
"Could we…have a conversation? The three of us?" Edgar asked and Sam perked up. He had been staring silently at the doorway where the others had disappeared, his hands clasped behind his back. When Edgar spoke, he looked at him, really looked at him, and tilted his head to the side slightly. It was slightly unnerving, but Edgar didn't react outwardly.
Gideon also seemed mildly surprised, like Edgar had startled him from his own thoughts.
"Well, Byron will likely be able to hear us, and he will be able to sense what I'm feeling, but sure, Lord Edgar. We can have a conversation with the three of us." Edgar was surprised to hear the words from Sam's mouth. That sounded an awful like the bond that Cass and Lucy had, only Cass had been fighting against it ever since he got it.
