“Are you ready still, Javan?” Eodwine asked quietly in his ear.
Javan answered quickly, without giving himself to think about it and feel nervous again. “Yes, sir.” He didn’t tell Eodwine, but he wanted to get it done with as quickly as possible.
Once more, Eodwine asked for everyone’s attention and prepared to begin.
