The thought bothered me for a bit. Why was someone I didn't know looking at me like I had wronged him so gruesomely, while at the same time trying to hide it?
'He was probably trying to hide it because Marcel was there.'
I left the thought behind as I entered Ayesha's quarters.
Ysoriel was sitting in a lotus position on the ground. She opened her eyes the moment I stepped through the entrance, and in one fluid motion folded a package that was wrapped with clothes and glanced back at the Aoki, the little boy who had offered her food earlier. He was still asleep, his small chest rising and falling in the dim light.
Then she brought her gaze back to me, took the package and stood up.
"Let's go."
I frowned for a moment and then narrowed my eyes the next.
"Go… where?"
"Where else? To Terracotra. And from there we'll continue to find your mother."
