Not long after the guards told us about them, the Eternal couple showed up on the research floor. Why? Because we were there already anyway, and Natha decided to have our afternoon tea there--you know, making use of a vacant building.
Honestly, not a bad idea. Perhaps I'd just turn this place into my private library while at it.
"Ah, home is the best," Lesta took a deep breath while walking into the lounge.
"We're not home yet..."
"Shut it!"
From the look of it, they must have used the inter-realm portal of the magic tower to return from Wrath and continued with a carriage straight to the research tower. They still had their traveling cost and the smell of mana-fueled devices around them.
Naturally, they hadn't met D'Ara yet.
"Lesta!" I got up and hugged him, laughter came out naturally from seeing someone close I hadn't met for a long time. Lesta tilted his head in confusion but still patted my back in response, and I shifted to his Eternal next. "Eruru!"
