Zavren entered the room, his expression calm. Ariana's smile fell slowly which had been curled up, as she wondered what had happened. Even though his face held its usual calmness, the air around him felt different.
Something felt off and she felt it deeply.
"Zavren… are you alright?" she asked softly, her gentle voice ringing through the room. Zavren moved as he nodded calmly at her, his eyes resting on her. The calm air returned. Then he spoke quietly,
"How about we go to our chambers?" Zavren suggested calmly. Ariana nodded just as there was a soft knock on the door. Ariana was already guessing it was Leah.
Zavren had told Raven to send for her.
The door opened and Leah entered, bowing respectfully. She moved calmly towards where the baby laid, carrying the baby who was sleeping carefully and expertly so as not to wake her. Ariana couldn't help but admire her—she knew if she started to hold the baby, she would soon become an expert like Lady Leah.
