Chapter 272 – Crybaby [1]
It had been days since Inara and the others had returned to Waverith, days since they had found the colossal pit in its center, and the sweet but macabre scent of loss that clung to the stronghold like an obsessive lover…all while hearing the tale of the youngest Warborn killing Brain.
It had been days since she had been trying to meet him…something not particularly easy, given the current state of Waverith and, most importantly, the close scrutiny Meris was giving her.
And also, it had been days since she had been wondering what she would even say to him once she finally stood before him. But for that one though… was it really only days? It wasn't.
It had been five years since Inara had been wondering how she should act with him. Should she be herself? Or adopt another side so as not to appear strange in front of him?
Should she thank him for saving her life, since she never had the opportunity to do so? Or simply… act like—? damn it! She didn't know.
