Noticing Emilia's reaction before she noticed Arwen's eyebrow quirk, Desi leaned back against her chair and crossed her legs, trying to disguise the discomfort. Which was pointless, she now realized, since Arwen was there.
With a smile that was decidedly less bright than her previous ones had been, Desi took a cup and filled it with the steaming tea, smelling it just before setting it down again to cool. The way Emilia stated that they were all there somehow made her feel like there were going to be some revelations happening. Desi drew a breath and let it out very slowly as she waited. When Emilia stated exactly what she had been thinking, Desi did it again, even slower this time. And then, there it was.
