Bab 174: The poison gate strikes back

Hill tilted her head, as she unwrapped another lollipop and shoved it into her mouth. Kellen noticed how tired she looked, but how well she was keeping on a brave face. He winced. He wanted to help her, since she was probably in need of guiding, but it wasn't his place to do so. 

Not right after he'd just solidified his relationship with the Captain. He had a feeling that it wouldn't go well if he was caught guiding another person the next day. Even if it was Hill. 

Especially if it was Hill. 

"Well, I'm sure it's not anything you wouldn't have expected, Kellen." She started, and Kellen grabbed his tea cup and sat back in his chair, happy that they had gotten over his stuff, and were now onto things he had more knowledge in. More comfortable knowledge in. 

"I'm not sure I know what you mean." Kellen told her, and she chuckled.
