"F-Florence?"
Without thinking, he unconsciously took a step forward, boots scraping against the uneven stones.
Rheanne turned her head toward him as confusion flickered across her face beneath the shadow of her hood.
"Kael?"
He didn't answer as his gaze was locked on the blonde woman.
"Florence…" he muttered again.
His feet moved before his mind could catch up and he walked toward her quickly.
The woman turned her head at the sound of approaching footsteps. When she saw the hooded figure striding directly toward her, her eyes widened in panic.
"Huh?"
In fear, she took one step back, then bolted while lifting her skirts slightly as she hurried down the side alley beside the inn, disappearing into the shadows between buildings.
Before Brandon could take more than a few steps after her, a firm hand grabbed his wrist.
"Kael, what happened? We don't want unnecessary attention right now."
