After the long and rather exhausting conversation between the Olphean King, Viessa, and the others finally wrapped up, everyone began to disperse with a clear goal in mind—prepare to leave and start tracking down Rulana.
I adjusted my clothes, already mentally plotting the search route, when I noticed Amaya standing off to the side. She wasn't moving, just… waiting. Her posture was still and calm, but her eyes locked onto me the moment I glanced her way.
"What are you doing?" I asked, tilting my head slightly.
"I'm coming as well," she replied without hesitation.
I shook my head. "No. You'd better stay here—it's safer."
The truth was, if Rulana saw Amaya, she'd almost certainly try to take her back. And I wasn't in the mood to fight that battle while juggling everything else.
Amaya's gaze sharpened, her tone cooling as she stepped forward. "Nowhere is safe for me."
