“Vidvan?”

He had somehow managed to surprise Tavesh. Maybe he hadn’t expected to see him out here. As Vidvan shouldn’t have been out here, he was surprised too. Not at being outside. He had planned that.

But for once, he hadn’t been trying to find Tavesh.

Vidvan tried not to spend too much time readjusting his cloak. “Hello, Tavesh.” Oh, he sounded like a fool.

Tavesh’s surprise faded away, replaced by a smirk. “Any plans?”

Well, Vidvan had had plans, but none of them seemed as important now.
