it never rains (but it pours), ch. 5 part 2
Chapter Excerpt:
“What are you doing in...” Dr. Blackquill’s voice ebbs as she lifts her glasses. Her gaze locks on Athena, and her eyes widen with disbelief, darting from her face to her neck and back. “You,” she says, in a familiar accent tangled with surprise. Then, in a sharp, sudden instant, her face clears and empties. Her eyes narrow, and her full mouth twitches at a corner. “Well, well. It seems her Royal Highness has at last returned to the castle.” Her eyes and voice share the same shade. Grey, like frozen river water. Widget bleeps anxiously at Athena’s throat, and Phoenix doesn’t need her skills to interpret the emotion coating the doctor’s voice. Loathing. A beat, and he hears Athena’s thick swallow. “... Hello, Aura.”
