Last night
Vensen, Corvin, and the crow Nook were still playing cards, each trying to extract as much information as possible from the others. Vensen was unsettled by the fact that this crow could talk, while Corvin showed no reaction to it at all. The whole time, Vensen's eyes kept drifting toward Ash, who stood in the corner, staring back at him with narrowed eyes as if looking at a traitor.
In the end, Vensen lost his patience, dropped his cards on the table with boredom, and said:
"Look, let's stop this nonsense now. We all have questions, right?"
Nook the crow nodded his head, and so did Corvin.
Vensen gestured toward them and continued:
"I have a suggestion. Why don't we each ask one question to the other?"
The two exchanged glances and then both nodded in agreement.
Silence lingered for a moment before Corvin broke it:
"So, who's going to ask first?"
No one volunteered, each waiting for the other to open their mouth.
