Sairis's POV
Edgar smiled and pushed the door open wider. Sairis returned the smile as he walked past him into the office.
He looked around the room as he entered and paused when he saw loreen and Ardent in the office.
This office had been Loreen's for weeks, the place where the regent had sat and worked and argued with advisors and signed things and generally held the kingdom together through sheer stubbornness.
It was the king's office now. Things were returning to where they were supposed to be. Loreen had done well in this seat but it had never been his seat, at least for now, and he had always known that.
Loreen was on his feet before Sairis had taken three steps into the room.
"Are you okay," he said immediately. He crossed to Sairis before anyone else in the room had moved, his eyes already moving over him with a focused and slightly urgent attention.
Sairis scoffed. "I am fine," he replied.
