"That day, Morpheus got hurt, and Sephy wasn't with him. He almost lost his life! I was busy taking care of him. How could I have the time and energy to plot against you guys? Besides..."

Seamus doubted and questioned him right from the start, not giving him any chance to breathe.

"I don't understand what you're saying," Wynn said as he calmed down. "But anyway, I haven't done anything you're accusing me of!"

"Okay, don't be angry. I was hasty with my words." Seamus pushed the coffee he had ordered toward Wynn.

He had seen Wynn drink this kind of coffee in Morpheus' home. It was a local blend from Flinge. Wynn always added a bit of vanilla extract to it when he drank, so Seamus had instructed the bartender to add some vanilla extract to the coffee as well today.
