Quiet Realizations in Falling Cloud
The hallway outside the rooms was silent when Mora finally turned toward Videl.
Inside the fancy inn close to Falling Cloud's royal palace, they stepped through the door. Light from hanging lanterns spilled across the hall, soft glows dancing on smooth wood beneath their feet.
Mora waited by the doorway, voice steady and clear. A quiet moment passed before she continued, speaking with care.
"We will be meeting the Queen later," he said.
Videl straightened slightly under her cloak.
"So for now… rest."
His eyes briefly scanned the hallway before returning to her.
"Prepare yourself. When the time is right, I will come back for you."
Videl nodded quietly.
"I understand."
With that, Mora turned and walked away down the corridor.
The soft sound of his boots gradually faded.
Soon—
Videl was alone.
Footsteps fading, she shut the door tight then took down the hood with deliberate slowness.
