Between sparring sessions, Damon was contacting Maya through the mind-link, reminding her to take Talia shopping, but Maya told him that Talia was sleeping and that she shouldn't be disturbed.
'Talia is sleeping. Considering her wounds, it's important that she rests. We can shop tomorrow.', Maya tried to reason with Damon.
'No. Do it today.', Damon was not relenting.
The truth is that he felt guilty.
He knew that Talia left because of the incident in the kitchen, and he thought that if Maya takes her shopping, Talia will feel better and not try to leave again.
The thought of Talia leaving was creating knots in his stomach.
She nearly escaped, and next time, he might not be so lucky to find her sleeping in the forest.
It was late afternoon when Damon finished training and returned to the packhouse.
