Chapter 28.
I did exactly as they asked. I stayed huddled up in the nest of sea plants they provided for me.
I slept a lot, and when I wasn't sleeping, I was eating the fresh food they brought me.
Truthfully, I found out later that this room wasn't just a vacant space for guests.
It was actually Artria's own home.
As for why she was willing to share her personal space with a shark-man she barely knew, I had no idea.
It was a level of trust I hadn't expected from her, especially since she spent most of our first meeting trying to get underneath my skin.
Fortunately, she wasn't at home very often during the day. Which was great for me since I very much enjoyed the silence of having a room to myself again.
Artria was mostly busy with village chores or out hunting with Garin. She usually only came back late into the evening when it was time to sleep.
At first, she seemed a bit awkward about sharing a nest with me.
