Rennon was the one who reminded me about training today, so I only expected him to be waiting. He hadn't mentioned Zenon or Lennon being here.
My stomach fluttered with unease. 'Did he forget to mention it? Or was this deliberate?'
"Don't look so startled," Lennon said with a lazy grin, pushing off the wall and strolling closer. "What, you thought you had Rennon all to yourself?"
Heat crept up my neck, and I shook my head quickly. "I just… wasn't expecting all of you."
"Neither were we," Zenon said, voice clipped as ever. His eyes swept over me, sharp but not unkind. "But schedules are shifting with Founders' Day preparations. It makes sense to use the time wisely. And, we have to prepare you in case you get into a duel with another student on that day."
"What?" My nostrils flared as my gaze widened. "Duel another student? How? I—I don't understand."
