A flicker of doubt crossed the woman's face. “Are you sure?"

Isaac reaffirmed, "Nope, nothing at all.”

The woman seemed to soften. "That's fine. You don't seem like a bad person," she said, offering him a hand to help him to his feet. "Are you from Azmar?"

Isaac confirmed with a nod. "That's right."

The woman helped him back to his room, her voice gentle. "Get some rest. Don't forget you're injured."
