Not long after the call ended, a deep, mechanical roar echoed from outside, powerful enough to rattle the windows of the house.
Adyr and the others turned to the window. A large hoverjet was descending slowly onto the main street, maneuvering with precision between the rows of tightly packed houses. It hovered just above the ground, aligning itself with the front door of their building as its side hatch began to open with a hiss of pressure.
"They could've just sent a regular car," Niva muttered, her wide eyes following the rumbling engines as the vehicle settled into place.
Adyr gave a faint chuckle at her comment. "Do you want to come? I think there's enough room for everyone."
Boy and Zelda lit up at the offer, visibly excited, but Marielle and Neris exchanged a glance and quietly shook their heads. Neither of them seemed comfortable with the idea, and Adyr didn't press them.
