Chapter 90: Awkward

"S'ryn, blondie over here says it's you that got him into an arm sling." Sebastian was leaning against the carriage and smirking.

The alchemist shrugged. "He could've avoided it."

Lucien received a head pat from Rowan as he climbed aboard Sebastian's carriage.

"Avoided it? So yer tellin' me that Rowan let ya break his bone deliberately?"

"Syryn didn't mean to," Rowan interjected. He looked towards the house and back at the alchemist. "Ryn, have you locked the house down or is there someone inside?"

Syryn wondered how safe it was to leave Riha alone in the house. The selkie wasn't exactly defenceless but if they were being watched, it was a good time for an enemy to break into the manor.

"Has Salem not returned?" Lucien asked. Salem had left home to go on a shopping trip for their alchemy business.

"Nope." An answer to both Rowan and Lucien.
