On their way to the hives, Geo joined them. He was quiet, but a deep frown had formed on his face.
"My lady, you seem troubled."
Sienna thought to herself, you have no idea. No matter how much she trusted him, she had no plans to share with him what those troubles were. Instead, she decided to assign him a different role. "Geo, all those stories you told me about the royals, some of the stories seemed to have come from within the palace. Do you have friends in the palace?"
He nodded. "It was my dream to join the royal vanguard once upon a time. Recruitment and training for those positions starts at the age of twelve. When I ran away from my tribe, I signed up for a while. Some of the guards are my friends and we keep in contact every now and then."
Sienna nodded. "Okay."
Geo was baffled. Was that it?
