"Wait…"
Imogen does not want to obey the command, but her feet freeze on their own accord.
Ruto walks out of the war chamber, hearing a series of commanding shouts echoing through the stone corridors. It's Amendiel's voice, sounding as authoritative and furious as ever.
Kavor approaches her slowly, and Imogen's mind races with anxiety when his warm hand settles on her shoulder.
She wonders if this dragon has seen through her act, which had led the King away. Those piercing eyes make her feel like he has.
"Are you okay?" Kavor says finally, his deep voice making Imogen's mind race even faster. She wonders why Kavor is asking the wrong questions, shouldn't he be interrogating her about Faelyn?
When Imogen doesn't answer Kavor right away, Kavor tilts her chin up with his thumb, forcing Imogen to meet his eyes which are shrouded with concern over her pale-stricken expression. "Your friend will be fine. Her mate will find her—you don't have to worry."
