After giving Vanessa some time to herself, Ruvian eventually left the training hall and returned a short while later with a flask of water in hand.
The moment he stepped through the entrance, his gaze quickly found her.
Vanessa had apparently moved from where he had left her earlier and taken a seat on one of the empty wooden benches positioned against the wall. The academy cloak still rested over her head, concealing much of her face beneath its dark folds.
At the very least, she seemed to have calmed down.
Hearing the sound of approaching footsteps, Vanessa instinctively looked up.
The moment her eyes met his, however, she immediately lowered her gaze again, clearly remembering everything that had happened earlier.
Ruvian pretended not to notice.
Walking over casually, he sat down beside her before extending a small flask toward her.
"Here."
Vanessa blinked in surprise before accepting it.
Only after she had taken the flask did Ruvian lean back slightly against the bench.
