After some time, we finally emerged from the forest, heading toward our shelter. From where we were, it was already possible to see the large fence of Thalbûren, as well as two figures standing outside, as if on watch.
— Finally... we're almost there — I said, stretching with a sigh of relief.
— Yeah... You can already see the fence around the cave and... what's that? — asked Lyaris, squinting her eyes, trying to identify the figures.
— Looks like there are people out there...
— Hmm... They really do look like two people — I replied, also trying to see better, leaning slightly forward.
— Sigh... I bet it's Vayrënna and Kaelith. I guess... we took longer than we promised. They must be worried about you, haha — I said, scratching the back of my neck, already imagining the scolding to come. Lyaris just laughed, as if sharing the same silent pain.
— Well, let's walk faster then. The sooner we get there, the lighter the punishment, right? — she said, smiling playfully.
