The air between them grew heavy, thick with unspoken thoughts.
Adam remained silent, his gaze fixed on the woman standing before him.
For someone hailed as one of the most powerful figures in the Orc Faction, Distant Eye's presence was... underwhelming.
Adam had always heard about her as if she were some enigmatic oracle, a woman who could peer into fate itself.
Yet here she was, standing awkwardly at the entrance of her tent, fidgeting slightly as if she had no idea what to say...
'This is the woman who climbed to the top because of her visions?'
Adam wasn't disappointed, not exactly.
He had met plenty of people whose reputations overshadowed their actual presence.
This was just... a bit unexpected.
Kristoff coughed, breaking the silence.
"Leila, this is, uh… Adam."
He introduced with an awkward shrug.
"You told me to recruit strong people to protect you, right?"
Leila flinched slightly before nodding.
"Yes, um… you can come inside first."
