Ashar blushed a bit brighter and quickly looked away from him. Through the open doorway she could see a crowd of people surrounding the entrance. Ashar let out a sigh, “Excuse me.” She said standing up before walking over to the crowd of people. She spoke to them with a very calm and collected voice only to have the response be a dozen voices all telling her something different.

She seemed to give them an explanation and slowly they departed from the doorway one by one until everyone was gone.

Ashar let out another sigh and made her way back to the center of the room. “They all wanted to ask you questions. I told them they would have to wait until tomorrow since you need to rest.” Her father’s words played back in her head for a moment before she quickly opened her eyes. “Oh! Yes! I was supposed to offer you something to drink. Would you like something?”
