'A Dark Turn.'

'Yellow ribbon...a yellow ribbon. I know I read something about a yellow ribbon in the novel.' Azrael kept thinking, blankly staring at the yellow ribbons in the student servant's hand. It wasn't until Adham spoke that the young prince broke out from his trance. 

"It is alright. He is fine, there's no need to bow...right, Prince Azrael?" 

"Huh? Uh, oh...oh. Yes! Yes." Azrael waves his hands a bit, from the corner of his eyes he could see Caspian and Adham share worried glances. 'I'm pretty sure they'll be asking me why I seemed distracted later...'

One of the things happened the past few weeks were Caspian and Adham somehow bonded over being protective of him, and whenever they both felt that something was wrong with Azrael, they would give each other a look then ask him what's wrong. 

'It's amusing, but I do hope they do the same for Eirian.'
