There was definitely something going on between the two girls. Faven and Kezia. He could tell it right from the beginning. Ever since Faven walked in, Kezia was acting a bit weird. Weird for a human. Even for a Zoran or an Astra. Though she had tried to mask it up, she was not affected by Faven's presence. That was something, considering that even Camilla was affected to some extent.
He blinked at Rafe. Why did he bring that subject now? Was it because he had said it casually that he did not understand the importance of it?
He gripped his fork. "I will address that issue later."
Faven's eyes narrowed. After a blink, she put on that unconcerned smile. "Fine. Not like I am going anywhere."
Though Kezia was talking to Camilla about the classes, her heart skipped a beat. Had he not been noticing her, he would not have found the abnormality. Why was he noticing her?
"It's no use for you to be here," Kia grumbled. "This year Snow Ball is going to suck."
Faven played with her spoon but did not eat. "Why so? I thought the organisers were chosen by voting?"
"We voted wrong!" Kia cried softly. "Adrian and Kezia! They are two of the three organisers. I had to drag one last year and the other had not attended a single Snow Ball! I am doomed."
Faven's eyes had a glint. Before he could ponder over it, it returned to its calmness.
Camilla gaped at her. "The Ball is the perfect time for single people. You have a fiance! Why bother?"
"It is a wonderful time for couples too," Kia retorted. "How would you know?"
Alanza asked, "Kezia... you did not attend last year?"
The human looked at them with wide eyes. "Should I have? I thought it was not compulsory?"
Alanza coughed. "It is not. It's just that... no one would ditch it."
"Why did you not come, by the way?" Wyatt leant on the table. "Was it because of the organisation... the people-"
She glanced at Faven for a fleeting second, before Kezia said, "My mother was not feeling well. I had to go home."
Faven looked away calling a waiter. "Is she fine?"
Though the question was out of politeness, there was a deep hidden concern.
"She is," Kezia said. "Thank you for asking, High-Princess."
Before the waiter could come, Faven got up and took her bag. "I have some things to do. See you later."
