Thalia's gaze followed the three pairs of eyes now fixed on her, and she swallowed. She hadn't meant to knock the vase down at all. She had only been passing by when she noticed them inside the dance room, and out of pure curiosity, she had paused to watch. Unfortunately, in the process, she had carelessly brushed against the vase and sent it crashing to the floor.
"Pardon me," Thalia said quickly as one of the maids hurried over to begin cleaning the shattered pieces.
Then the maid lifted her head to look at her. "Are you alright, my lady?" she asked.
"Yes, thank you," Thalia replied, and once the maid had gathered the broken pieces, she gave a short bow before quietly leaving.
Now Thalia turned back to face them, verity and Rosalind were both watching her while Rowan had shifted his gaze as if it didn't concern him anymore. "Is it alright if I watch?" Thalia asked.
