Lyra's face turned different shades of grey when she saw Krag and Chi coming towards her. She staggered backwards, almost falling, before Cato caught her. She looked from them to Cato. A choking sound came from her mouth.
Krag's face was hard, and Chi's was impassive. They stood there watching the couple. They were more experienced than Visha, so they knew very well that Lyra was Cato's mate. But these things aren't things they should meddle in. Unexpectedly, after being left in charge for such a short time, this kind of thing has happened.
They took in the tears on Lyra's face. The way Cato held her when she was about to fall. He was clearly very angry, but his instincts would not allow her to be harmed in the slightest.
Krag didn't ask unnecessary questions. He looked directly at Lyra, "Why did they send you? What do they plan to do?"
