“Are you alright?” I asked the moment I saw him standing at the door. I was already sitting in the dining room, eating my breakfast and I hoped that he might join. Yesterday Aelfric said that he would wake up normally in the morning. In the beginning I was skeptical, but since Thomas confirmed it too I felt kind of relieved but up until he actually showed up, my chest was tightened with anxiety. “Are you worried about me?” He asked and his eyes were glowing with some unspoken challenge. I didn’t know what he was up to and honestly, I didn’t even want to know. I was just glad he was alright.
“Since you can already joke, you are alright,” I commented, pretending to be angry, and went back to my food but deep inside I could finally breathe knowing that he was alright and I did not hurt him.
