Ian followed ℥enji into the hall and saw the others with a man sitting by himself with his back to the doorway. Ian didn't have to be told, he knew who the man was, but something seemed off. ℥enji bowed to the man as Ian stood behind him. When Ian saw the man's face, he froze. Cause he looked like he would faint at any moment. The man seemed to be exhausted and overworked.
"He woke up," informed ℥enji. "The slave is your responsibility. Teach him," said the man in a hoarse voice. "Yes," said ℥enji pulling Ian behind before he could do anything. ⧚Don't do anything. Just stand behind him and do as you're told. Only answer when spoken to and move when told to or when following him.⧚ said ℥enji.
"When are we supposed to meet them?" asked the man. "In a few hours," said ℥enji. "You should..." said Janet stopping when she saw him glaring at her. "Did you forget? Only do as you're told," said the man closing his eyes. "Jin," called out Leah. "I brought the snacks," she added. "Leave it," said Jin with his eyes closed.
⧚Why is he like this?⧚ asked Ian. ⧚Tell me what happened when I left the room when you met her.⧚ ⧚⨊ was angry with me, hurt and wanted to leave me. I told her I would be with her even if it meant being her slave, she told me about the slave mark...⧚ ⧚Slave Mark?⧚ asked ℥enji. Getting confused at Ian's words. When he left them alone, he thought they would argue and talk. At most Ian would be thrown out and least allowed to stay in the shadows until ⨊ wasn't angry with him anymore. But ⨊ inform him that they would be gone for some time. And that he should clean up the place and leave with the others. And that she would meet them after sleeping for some time.
