"Okay, thank you," Adyr replied with a calm smile and ended the call.
He turned to Niva, who was watching him with anxious eyes. "As I guessed, it was Victor. He wants to meet at the cafeteria tomorrow morning," he said casually as he sat back down and resumed his meal.
His lie was flawless, delivered with perfect ease. But Niva didn't look entirely convinced. She had that sixth sense women were known for, something that told her something wasn't quite right. Still, with no clear sign of deception to hold onto, she chose not to press the issue. Instead, she nodded and joined her brother in silence.
They ate their dinner together, sharing light conversation.
Adyr talked about his day, both in this world and the other. He told her about reaching a new kingdom, describing the Velari people and their gentle, friendly nature. He laughed as he recounted how they sat together in a tavern, drinking like they'd been old friends for years.
