Chapter 524:
Arthur's Point of View
Pendragon Estate
Marina and I walked the depths of my estate. Places I had never been before to find Cassidy and her kin. As I hod in on the little group, Marina floated next to .
"I want to apologize." My watery daughter/guardian told suddenly.
"Mmh?" I humd out, although I already knew the reason.
"It wasn't right of to bring..." At my look she paused for a mont. "To bring up the past. Especially, 'that.'"
Continuing through the hall, I replied. "Yeah, well, I probably could've handled it better too. That seems to be the standard for , though. Little things set off, I overreact, and then I kind of feel bad for it."
Marina spoke softly. "It wasn't an overreaction. You already asked us not to discuss what mories we have from you."
"And there are no words to describe how much I hate that you have them. Aydan only told what would happen after we already started." I sighed, frustrated at the situation. "Didn't even think any of you would be able to talk."
"Are you disappointed?" She inquired.
"Not really. There is so manner of comfort there, but again..." I trailed off.
"You don't like thinking about the past."
"Another thing that is the standard for ." A scoff left my lips. "I haven't even gone out of my way to rember my night with Elincia. The mories are definitely there, but I'm leaving them a blur. Especially if Mara is alive. Doubt she'd be willing to give the ti of day." Running my hands down my face, I watched the three energies as we approached. "Although, I suppose possibly getting her sister pregnant would likely be just one more thing on the list for her."
"Most likely."
We stopped outside Cassidy's door. "Did she ever talk about ?" Marina looked to surprised. "I an, outside from her inquiries about ..." She looked unsure of how to respond, and I shook my head. "Never mind." Without giving her a chance to reply, I knocked on the door. "FBI! Open up!" A snort ca from Marina, and I turned to see her with an amused expression. "See this is why it's sowhat comforting." I told her softly as the door opened.
"Arthur!" Austin greeted enthusiastically.
Placing my hand on the top of his head, I went inside. "Hey, buddy. Heard you and your sister ran into Floyd."
Cass was laying down in bed with Rennal's hand on her forehead. "Yeah. Two guesses who told the Priestesses we were here, and the first guess don't count." The redhead said bitterly.
I nodded at that as Marina followed inside before closing the door. "Floyd is an issue." All three of them opened their mouths, but I quickly held up a hand. "I'm not planning on killing him. However, sothing is off about him. Stay away from him if you can, and if you see him in the house, find soone who 'can' kill him." I crossed my arms. "Caught him in my room not too long ago looking for Ayda."
Rennal looked worried at that. "Didn't you say he was asking about Ayda at The Rainy Helm?" She asked Cass.
"He was. He's always had a soft spot for her." Cass answered.
I shrugged. "Don't care." My attention turned to Marina. "Make sure the others keep an eye out for him. He can use magic, so be aware he's not entirely Human."
"Ah take it this aint a social visit?"
Turning back to Cass, I spoke. "Yes and no. Wanted to co and tell you to start resting. It's only been a few days since you sort of recovered. Marina is worried about you, as are a few others. I'm one of them." My eyes shot toward Austin for a mont before I frowned. "Mmh. We'll talk once your better and we have a mont." I turned back to Marina. "Is there nothing you can do for her?"
Marina shook her head. "While I could soothe her aches and pains, it would do little good. Her," She also paused as her gaze focused on Austin for a mont. "'Ailnts' are rather specific and will only heal with ti."
"Ah still don't understand everythin that happened? Why're is Floyd not allowed ta co here? He was always fun ta be around." The child in the room asked the adults. "After what happened ta Kine, he might just want ta talk ta Ayda."
