The other Mordret — one that was far nicer, safer, and more hollow — looked at Cassie with a hint of surprise in his mirror-like eyes.
Or at least that was what Cassie imagined when she heard his voice. She couldn't place a mark on him, after all, so all that faced her was endless darkness.
"Lady Cassia? It is nice to make your acquaintance."
Cassie felt like she knew him very well, but she still nodded.
"Yes… likewise."
She lingered for a moment and then said in a neutral tone:
"I wanted to thank you for keeping Rain company these last few… however long it has been since we arrived. She doesn't show it, but you must know how terribly lonely, anxious, and afraid she is."
The other Mordret must have nodded.
"Yes, of course. Those feelings… I know them well myself."
A pale smile appeared on Cassie's lips.
"Really? Because I… I am not sure that I even know what feelings are anymore."
She inhaled deeply, then sighed.
