But Vale didn't think it was that. After all, if it was, they would have found him suspicious. Then maybe they didn't know what they were even looking for? That's also possible. Vale needed to know what they were looking for. It might be related to him and might spell danger!
At the same time, something flashed through Vale's mind. '....this Hinterlands is mine, and if they are indeed looking for something in my territory, then shouldn't it be mine as well...'
Just then, Vale had the feeling of someone watching him too intently, as if they were trying to burn his expression into their memory. He looked up swiftly, unconsciously using essence to enhance his speed, and he saw the expression on Timmons' face.
The man was studying his expression! Vale understood some matters then. Some people other than the Hollow Grave must have an idea of what's going on, maybe some of the High Clans as well, and how could Vale not look suspicious?
