Igor and the Great Witch Biggs stood in place without moving. One scratched his head, not knowing what to say, while the other looked around, not knowing what was happening.
Biggs wanted to ask what they were discussing, but due to the pride that Igor had just shown by addressing her as "Your Excellency," she couldn't bring herself to ask the question. If she did, it would feel like she was lowering her own status. It wasn't easy reaching Gray Robe advancement and regaining a bit of her old confidence, so she couldn't give it up so easily.
But everyone was discussing a matter related to her, yet she was completely in the dark, which made her feel uncomfortable.
The only one who respected her here might be Igor.
She now regretted coming this way; if she stayed beside Bigas, perhaps—oh, no, staying there would be even more awkward and would affect others even more negatively. But she clearly could have walked a different way, so why did she have to come this way?
