"Are you really going to let that woman get away with saying those things?"
Nosphaleen looked toward the closed door of Sylas' chambers, her expression souring as she went back over the conversation that had taken place inside.
She and Xarvenya had stepped out some time ago. There was little they could do to help Sylas with his recovery, and neither of them wanted to distract him. That didn't mean either woman had stopped paying attention to what happened around him, though.
If anything, there were probably few people aboard the Hollow Ship who watched over Sylas' well-being more closely than the two of them. So when Olivia walked into his chambers without so much as knocking, they had naturally turned their attention toward her. Neither had been particularly pleased with what followed.
Of course, Nosphaleen understood that Olivia's words had been aimed at Alex, and that she'd only used Sylas as an example to make her point. Did that make it any better, though?
