Elaine had woken up after a short, very refreshing nap…
She got off the bed, dressed in light blue pajamas. Maya had been so nice to give them to her yesterday, just after a soaking bath.
Her throat felt parched — it seemed even an Awakened still needed to be hydrated.
She opened her door and walked right up to Maya's room, but her hand froze right before she made the mistake of knocking.
'i can't wake her up just for a cup of water…' Elaine's head swayed left and right. The hall was really empty and silent.
All the servants were absent. Simon had dismissed them the moment he heard from his son, trying to hide the fact that he was here.
Unknown to him, there was no need for this. Even if the Duskreavers knew of Seth's whereabouts, they had been strictly ordered by the elders to refrain from antagonizing him any further.
Elaine's eyes flashed in sudden reminder. She remembered distinctly the frame of a water dispenser residing in the living room.
