I walked out of the room where the quadruplets were and headed straight toward the healer's quarter.
My steps were quick, almost restless, but my mind was elsewhere entirely. It was clouded and heavy.
Too many thoughts tangled together at once, making it impossible to focus on any single thing properly.
I barely paid attention to where I was going and that was why I didn't see the figure coming toward me until it was too late.
I collided with someone, hard enough to make the person stumble slightly.
A female.
The moment our bodies brushed, something about her felt strangely familiar. Her scent lingered in the air for the briefest second, tugging at something in my memory, something I couldn't immediately place.
And her figure…Why did she seem so familiar?
Just as I was about to look properly at her face, she reacted suddenly.
Almost too suddenly.
She quickly pulled part of her clothes over her face and lowered her head immediately, hiding herself from view.
