Anastasia sat in that silence with Samsul as Eric brought over the food for them. She bowed her head and muttered a very quiet thank you to the man. He left shortly after. She picked up her fork and started to eat, continuing the silence. She was halfway through her stew when she spoke again. She looked around and her eyes suddenly widened, "Have you seen Melor?"

She hadn't even been thinking about that small dog until then. But now that she was, she realized she hadn't seen him in sometime. Had he gone to sleep with her on the bed? Or had she not seen him for nearly two days now. She felt horrible, how could she neglect him so much to the point where she didn't even notice that he was gone. She dropped her fork and stood. She looked under the table, in hopes that the dog may be there but she wasn't so lucky. She looked back at Samsul, her hands fidgeting with her dress, before she quickly left the room in search of her dog.
