Some time later, Cassie's office was a mess. The actual damage wasn't that severe, but there were parchments and sheets of paper scattered everywhere.
The two young women were sitting on the floor, breathing heavily. Cassie's blindfold was a little crooked.
Nephis glared at her for a while, then groaned and hid her face between her knees.
Eventually, her muffled voice resounded in the stone chamber:
"I… I forgot to retrieve my damned dress…"
Hearing that, Cassie livened up a little, as if feeling a chance to redeem herself.
"Oh! Don't worry. He picked it up."
Instead of answering, Nephis slowly raised her hands and silently grabbed her head.
After a few moments of silence, she said:
"When is the war starting? Let's go to war, Cas…"
The blind seer smiled.
"Of course. I'll go with you."
She paused for a moment, then added softly:
"But honestly, I don't know why you are reacting so strongly."
Nephis raised her head and looked at the other young woman in astonishment.
