Aerialia nodded in agreement with Greta's words. She might be able to uncover something given more time.

Upon hearing Aerialia's words, Greta bit her lips before nodding, "Yes. I'm sure," she responded.
Orion approached Selene from behind, gently placing his hands on her shoulders. Without a word, Selene rose from her seat, turned, and clung to him, burying her face deeply in his chest.
He embraced her firmly, his left hand rubbing soothing circles on her back to calm her emotions and help her ease them.
Greta stood up silently and left the room, intending to inform the rest of the household about what had transpired. Although Orion, Crystalia, and Selene had spent time together on the last day of Crystalia's request as planned, it wasn't how they had imagined.
