She listened to Melina's words but she was not sure if she believed them. It still sounded far too calculated. However, what was she to do? She could either hate the girl and risk going to Hagener or forgive her and accept her help. She didn't know the woman, but she had an odd feeling she wasn't exactly her friend.<br/><br/>Amena gave a weary sigh deciding to tell Melina,<span style="color: #BF0000">"Yakari wants to sell Hagener back his armor. He believes that Hagener will offer a good price for it, or at least better than the blacksmith. I am to get Hagener to offer a generous amount for his rather dishonorable display on the arena and to let him know Yakari holds no grudge..." </span>Amena wasn't sure she should reveal the whys of it, preferring to keep her marriage to Yakari as quiet as possible, though she doubted she would be able to for too long. With Danielle in knowledge of it, she'd likely use it against them somehow.<span style="color: #BF0000"> "Why would Hagener want to kill me?" </span>Amena asked hesitantly. Hagener was known as the Loon, so he could just want to kill her for breathing the wrong way for all she knew. She didn't know him that well and her father never spoke of the man except to stay clear of him. Still, even crazy men had their reasons, so what could be his?<br/><br/><span style="color: #BF0000">"I am sorry if I seem hesitant to trust you, Lady Melina...it has been a trying day," </span>Amena said in apology. She didn't mean to be rude to the girl, she just was rather fragile at the moment. The whole day was rather up and down for her.<span style="color: #BF0000"> "If you do this, would you mind letting me know Sir Hagener's offer? I very much need to go back to the Queen...and I can't really wait around for this man to get his ghosts in order...please? I know I am asking a lot after being so snappy, but I really have so much I need to do." </span>Amena told the truth of it and she very much did look like a woman who had quite the day. She was happy, over all, but the responsibilities and things she knew she would face, and even things she was unsure of hung above her like a cloud. She had a feeling Edward was going to be angry at her. If only she knew how angry.
