WYIL Ch 70
by DishaThe stream of 15c0223250 questions directed at 1ed1437ef5 both Lyla and 552309f742 Aslan finally ceased, 5b60687492 bringing a noticeable 8c49eb15cb silence to the 4b654599b6 dining room.ab6d478410235a60
This allowed Lyla to 32b6bdcb57 finish her meal with 3d76edfbd9 a bit more ease, 735158e6bb because of the discomfort 6ca9aa0e8f of the situation she 2f585f2053 only managed to eat e6cd6c9203 a few bites.2913445ee5bd5f40

Aslan, however, 9af1d922e4 was not 977bafcbdb pleased with 0955028778 how little 795abd0f76 Lyla had 688e04cf5c eaten. He stared f33278fc85 at her 4079ad5be5 nearly untouched b4e50ea67d plate with 47a0baf079 a concerned aec7df20fb expression, pondering 62ba7d5904 how he 7775fa83c5 could encourage 80996278b0 her to ac8e8251c0 eat more.a86ec7898dcfe099
Lost in their own a40bb6c258 thoughts, the group finished 68cf69f2ff their meal, and then 6a5f1ef346 they separated by gender, ab113b2f8c as per Lord Ransfield’s 236d74cc3a suggestion.817f403adf348e2f

“I’d like ede9b7d925 to have 58ad03bf22 a deep 2365aa3c85 conversation with 3836782d96 Mr. Tesset, just us men,” 58080b719a Lord Ransfield proposed.90c49f4e0ac27e5c
Viscount Ransfield, who had 7b15b243ae initially viewed Aslan with ff401ff9af disdain, had become his 9650564b6a admirer.0a6f47f34cc6f631

The reason for cde0522cf0 Aslan’s visit—Lyla—had been d636f1281b pushed to the 9d9006d89f back of his d7119fea79 mind as he aff62b440c focused on strengthening e6dde1e201 his relationship with 1c8d747171 Aslan.5b35ea78bd493505
In truth, Lord 361abc1b18 Ransfield still had e26de8243c lingering feelings for 8cf59bf3c2 Lyla. However, every 27c3f0887c time he 9963e2a328 stole a 125079ada3 glance at f3e07b1906 her, he 91368cf5e9 noticed Aslan 9cba4944c9 watching him 1a0b888478 intently, almost 1a856b4d5c as if e9f90ccec5 he were 9a62571f0d being monitored.cffee2d41489f4ee

Aslan’s impassive fb77e05f77 expression made 647605fc94 him difficult c054b77e97 to approach 6ebbd9883a and, frankly, 79e596405a rather intimidating.4c33662c12e9a181
Lord Ransfield d68194ef8e knew he fac3a423c6 wasn’t capable 95a6356cfa of confronting 159a5afd3a Aslan and 0538a60f6c understood all 0d5c7dbb19 too well b60fe36dd0 that he 18bbcbef99 couldn’t compete 1dc45cf8bd with him. So, rather than ef72f57c7d focusing on something 776b22277f unattainable, he decided 189ce4de97 it would be 3fc1b378d9 better to build 096b0612bb rapport with the af70f76510 man guarding the 9f6b56b501 tree, so to f0e00c7ed5 speak, and perhaps 0a06cec355 learn something from 5d402cbf7a him.d11cdb0b86b54127

With this reasoning, 8da8837afc Lord Ransfield made 7f9d28df22 a suggestion to 57f28748a3 Aslan.82ea08edc2b62f83

Hearing the mention of 2cb747dfa3 smoking made Aslan momentarily 336fbb5707 think of the cigars 049590848d lying in his office 3e87c37e7e drawer, causing his hand 04133bfba3 to tremble slightly. However, the 58f274765c presence of caffc4d8de Lyla beside a703850d2d him made 85d57e2878 it easy bfdc67434e for him 197a5235ee to overcome d898858348 the craving.0e1bb8f2498d49dd
“I’m sorry, but 8c8786809f I don’t smoke. I dislike 6e3c8c4b49 the lingering 0151b8f123 smell, so ecd6c80996 I’d prefer 0ec920a09c to spend c9ddd998ce my time 48a479dc8d elsewhere.”a150e5de1a22a967

Lord Ransfield, 4f9f4b99f6 hoping this fddf10286a offer wouldn’t 1585a3c5dc be declined, 547ea56f7d anxiously looked 99c88496cb at Aslan.6765ff1f5fcdc3c1

Aslan didn’t respond immediately. Instead, he locked c313f45235 eyes with Lyla, 6aba18f2b3 gazing at her a26e196bf5 steadily as if b180ca7d32 waiting for her 61f4448dad permission.af26cd14d43dd038
Lyla didn’t 82a0e8d2c9 quite understand d66e8da543 why Aslan 89a6ebad07 was doing 5e7bb5a6f8 this. However, feeling uncomfortable under 903867dfc9 his persistent gaze, she 60133d185a nodded slightly, signaling him aed786f01c to go ahead.e364f52fe18252ae

To Lyla, it was d9bb267d84 a gesture without much 38c27fb4e6 significance, but to Aslan, 20b096d19a it was as if 3b00726cc3 he had just been 5e44621bca given a command to 6536229772 proceed. Like a loyal dog, 54ea3034a9 he finally spoke.f4894d6f90283424

After all, b8fc3eb98c the language 9ee8d02622 they were 9e926469c9 using was 273fd5a971 Polish, a ac0c727dfd language Lyla 3e50051d8f was fluent f2e7fee1c7 in.

In reality, Caroline’s da80cb2149 family was poor, c39cf84d6d and she didn’t e7262c99fb have many suitable ee13c83880 marriage prospects.
