Elion pursed his lips, and a worried look flashed across his face. "How is she doing?"
Dorian gave Elion a curious look. "She should be fine," he said. "But she is undergoing something important right now."
"The bloodline trial?" Elion asked. "She told me about it already."
Dorian raised a brow. "Oh? She told you about it, you say? Perhaps I underestimated how close you two are. But is that all she told you?"
Elion frowned. "What do you mean?" He immediately asked. He had a feeling Dorian was only saying that to gauge his reaction, but he could not help responding.
Dorian smiled. "No need to give me that look. She is in no immediate danger. I am simply trying to find out if you understand the gravity of what this trial means to Celeste and to my people."
Elion folded his arms in front of his chest. "I will admit that I do not know," he said. "Now, by all means, please, enlighten me."
Dorian let out an amused chuckle at Elion's casual tone.
