((Thanks so much for filling in for me, Skye!))

Lejla glowered at Lavilev, though inside she was ashamed. I guess I am being a little edgy. But still...the plan had failed. And she was worried that the darkness would return. It was ridiculous, but she wanted to be sure they were safe before carrying on. "Why would I--" then she stopped. Courtesies, Lejla, courtesies. "Your Highness, forgive me. If I were upset with you, you wouldn't even need to speculate. Yes, I am on edge, but I assure you, I only wish to take precautions. Your safety is my highest priority." She hoped she'd done well to keep the sarcasm from her voice. She glanced at Harumi, waiting for her backup on the issue.
