It took quite a bit of effort to not let Serilla distract her for the rest of the day, but as Aegis got home alone, she got time to do something she needed to do.
She found Nazraya in her guest room, sprawled across the bed with a book in her hands. The professor's hair was loose, spilling across the pillows, and she was wearing a thin robe. Just that thin robe.
"Pet." Nazraya didn't look up from her book. "You smell like that Frost girl."
"I was with her earlier."
"Mhm. Had fun?"
"Not much, actually."
"Now, that's shocking." That got a small smile. Nazraya set the book aside and finally looked at Aegis properly. "You didn't come here just to flirt, I take it. What's on your mind?"
Aegis walked over and sat on the edge of the bed. She'd been turning this over in her head ever since Lenninsale, trying to figure out how to bring it up. Might as well just say it.
"After I killed the griffin, some people showed up."
Nazraya's expression didn't change, but her eyes sharpened.
