Talia followed Yasmin through winding passages while wondering what the witch was up to. Yasmin was secretive and she seemed nervous which made Talia nervous as well.
Eventually, they emerged outside. It was a warm night without any wind, and only crickets disturbed the silence.
Seeing that Yasmin hesitated, Talia decided to start the conversation. "I assume this is urgent." She turned to look in the direction from where they came. "Or you just don't want Axel to know about it."
"I plead guilty," Yasmin said.
"Guilty of what?"
"I watched a drama with lawyers. That's what humans say when they admit to their crimes," Yasmin explained.
Talia was alerted. "What crimes?"
None yet, Yasmin thought. "I don't want Axel to know about this. Can you keep a secret?"
"I can try," Talia said reluctantly. "If it's something that jeopardizes the pack or…"
"No, no. This is about me."
