The golden hue in Zeres' eyes slowly dissipated, but his gaze on Dinah remained rigid.
"So what if I am? Can't I hide someone in my own room?" he replied. His voice was back to being calm but the air around him was still a little heavy.
Dinah threw a glance at the door behind him and a smile formed on her face. "Of course, you can, Zeres. It just makes me wonder at what manner of a person must it be for you to be acting so defensive like this."
A short but weighty silence reigned between them before Zeres momentarily averted his gaze from her as he spoke. "She's just another witch I spent the night with. She's still sleeping, so I don't want anyone disturbing her," he said. His ears even turned slightly red.
