Aeliana's steps slowed as they reached their destination.
Her golden eyes flickered over the building in front of them, narrowing slightly. The scent of hay, leather, and earth drifted through the air, mingling with the distant brine of the sea. The structure was simple but well-kept, wooden beams sturdy beneath the lantern light. Horses shifted within their stalls, the quiet sounds of their breathing and the occasional rustling of hooves filling the air.
A stable.
Aeliana's brow twitched.
She turned sharply toward Lucavion.
"What?" she scoffed. "Why did you bring me here?"
Lucavion, entirely at ease, simply smirked. "What? Not a fan of horses?"
Aeliana crossed her arms. "Don't be stupid. You never mentioned anything about this."
Lucavion exhaled lightly, rolling his shoulders. "Well, we're here now."
Aeliana's eye twitched.
He was doing that again.
That casual way of revealing information as if it were obvious.
She narrowed her eyes further. "…Explain."
