Chapitre 31: Escape (3)

"What did you do to Faidon?" Curiosity finally grabbed a hold of me and was bursting from my lips.

"Faidon?" Soren asked, still scanning our surroundings. He wore long johns now, but they were a little tight. There was at least two inches of height between Soren and Theo, not to mention the difference in muscle mass. Theo was still lean, but Soren was bulkier after years of training.

"He was the man preventing our escape," I replied, flicking my gaze away from Soren's chest muscles. I was only looking because I wondered if he was cold in these temperatures! Soren caught me looking, though, and a slight smirk tugged at the corner of his lips.

"You had enough time to chat and learn his name?" Soren asked the smirk dropping, the knight replacing the man.

"I recognised him," I explained and fiddled with the ring around my finger. "He is one of Eryx's men."

"He was tailing you?" Soren questioned, leaning forward slightly.
