Lightchaser silently closed the chat channel. For a moment, she did not know what expression she should wear. She looked toward Ash Cinders, who was sitting across the dining table, and saw the same trace of surprise on her face.
Ash Cinders commented, "In some ways, she really has not changed that much after growing up."
As she spoke, her eyes curved and she laughed. The apprentice still loved deliberately provoking people. It was as if making others furious and jumpy gave her a sense of accomplishment.
She laughed for quite a while before realizing that Lightchaser was actually distracted.
That was rare. Ash Cinders waved a hand in front of her eyes. "What is wrong? Are you worried about Isolated Isle? I think our biggest concern now has a solution. If it really comes down to it, we can move some of the children to BS. Then we can see what resources we need to pay to make Rita's situation a little easier."
