Chapter 38: The Highest Bidder, Part Thirteen

{Enverna}

With Lianna moving away to go inspect the rest of the building, Enverna ended up as she usually had been throughout her life. 

Surrounded by people, but alone all the same. 

It was necessary, of course. The plan she and Lianna had agreed upon required the separation. But, Enverna herself was shocked at how saddened she was to lack her roommate's company. 

[Goodness gracious, Enverna. Shove those thoughts out of your mind and focus.] 

Slipping into her old self's shoes was easy enough. By the time she had her first interaction without Lianna at this gathering, she was pretty much back in Garriden. 

"Good evening," a tall, handsome boy asked. He had a gaunt face, bright, light blue eyes the likes of which the girls back at Enverna's old school would have fawned over constantly, and he wore a set of light, brigandine, blue armor.
