Somto nodded, stepping inside the room with his usual calm demeanor. He wasn't angry at Carl for being here, nor was he particularly surprised.
He had expected Nnenna to need someone to talk to. And since he hadn't been available while making his own preparations, he was actually grateful that Carl had been.
As he walked in, his eyes immediately went to Nnenna, observing her carefully.
"How are you doing?" Somto asked, his voice steady as always.
"Fine," Nnenna answered with a single word, her tone unreadable. Then she let out a small sigh, glancing between the two of them. "Well, now that the cat's out of the bag, I guess you guys must be really happy," she added with absolute certainty.
A frown flickered across Somto's face.
"You're not going to participate in the hunt?" he asked, his tone sharper than before.
"I am," she replied. "I was just about to leave when you came over, actually."
