The sadness he saw in he eyes almost broke something deep inside but when she saw he was staring down at her she quickly cleared her expression.

King Rosh- “Are you planning on going somewhere?” 

Poppy now dejected “Generally specking things tend to get sticky if people learn well you know. your hospitality has been lovely these last five years but I can see you wanting to clean house. I won’t hold it against you, please don’t think I would…” 

she looked genuinely afraid like something bad had happened to her in the past like history horrors were flashing before her eyes. she quickly blinked them away again clearing her expression. was he imagining it or did the room get colder?
