I said, “a...e you tired Sudeshna?”She turned back and replied very sweetly, “no. it’s just the regular journey and pressure of studies.”– Why do you study so hard?– I want to be first in the final exam.– You will be in any way.– Thanks.

I know, I know.” He smiled at me. “So Wulf and ... someone, in Denerim.

I had little time.
