Andreas asked the question knowing the answer, knowing that she couldn’t answer it, yet. A sharp glare came from the Matrone, before she returned her eyes toward the room, behind the wall, hidden to the sight of the occupant, they could see the young hyur woman sleeping, next to her, a miqo’te man was standing, waiting.
