Felix knew that he had outdoor duties that day and he was dreading to work alongside Iro and Felix in case the youngest apprentice tried to say anything to him regarding the way they had been acting around one another.
It was a coward's way out and he knew as much, but he was unaccustomed to how complicated his life had been lately. Things outside of the knighthood felt unbelievably out of his control.
However, before he could go outside, he was stopped by a maid who said that she had permission from Sir Gunnar for him to help the other maid clean the barracks that day to refill the firewood. Instant relief washed over him at this.
Unfortunately, the relief was short-lived when he stacked wood up to take to the lowest levels of rooms and he already saw Agnes about halfway done with one side of the hallway.
