Sighing, Erik wondered what was happening now. Having left Leila behind, he started making his way to where their bond told him Astrid was located. She'd refused to tell him anymore, but since Astrid didn't sound particularly distressed, he wasn't hurrying.
A few minutes later, he arrived in the hallway that led to Naeku's room. It was here, in the hallway and surrounding rooms, that most of the planning was happening, but he was surprised by what he found. Rather than being busy with the wedding plans, everyone was gathered in front of several windows that looked out over the palace steps.
He glanced at their faces and raised an eyebrow. 'Naeku looks annoyed, Astrid and Emily look amused, everyone else just looks awkward,' he muttered in his mind. 'Can't be too bad, I guess…'
"What's going on here…?" he asked curiously, stepping closer to the windows.
Everyone glanced at him in greeting, but most quickly went back to watching the commotion outside, either snickering or sighing.
