Archpriestess blinked in surprise as the golden-haired figure suddenly ran away, leaving her all alone in an instant. She quickly turned back, only to see... Aether emerged from the temple with an annoyed expression carved across his face.
His brows furrowed, sensing something was off, and he called out, "Is someone here?"
Archpriestess let out a tired sigh, her lips forming a slight pout as she shook her head. "No... there's no one here," she replied, her voice a touch strained with lingering annoyance.
"Anyway... what happened in there?" she asked, this time more gently, a hint of concern lacing her curiosity. Part of her felt a wave of quiet relief wash over her, knowing he returned unharmed.
Aether rubbed the back of his neck, exhaling slowly, "To be honest? Nothing happened. I did all the talking. She didn't say a single word." he muttered, his voice tinged with both frustration and confusion.
