All she wanted was to shed her clothes and crawl into bed next to Yakari and sleep for as many hours possible. Her bones were hurting, her head was booming, and she felt like strangling every living creature within her reach. Melina knocking at the door did not improve her mood in the slightest.<br/><br/>Amena opened the door slowly, trying to find a calm in her to speak to Melina without jumping at her. She was very angry, frustrated, and a little hurt. But she had found soothing breaths to ease her,<span style="color: #BF0000"> "Hello, Lady Melina..."</span>Amena greeted, stepping out of the door and leaving it only slightly ajar behind her. Nothing could be seen behind her, but she knew Leon and Yakari were likely listening.<span style="color: #BF0000">"I'm glad to see you have found me. I worried we wouldn't get the chance to speak tonight,"</span>Amena said politely.<br/><br/>She had to remind herself that Melina was likely a victim just as much as anyone else, that everyone had things that drove them to less than honorable actions.<span style="color: #BF0000">"Is Sir Hagener alright? I'm still rather baffled by his behavior," </span>she kept her voice concerned, but her eyes were a little guarded. It would make sense, as Melina hadn't left the best impression on her to begin with. The rumors still stung, and now Amena knew that it was likely calculated.
