The moment that Haniel was one speaking, she just noticed that everyone's eyes were on her. It was a good thing, so to speak. She needed her comrades to have a similar mindset as her in order for them to make progress. The Duchess was nothing short of pleased that her words had an impact on the others.
"Did I do a good job of waking you all up?" Haniel said with a smile that rarely appeared on her face.
"Yes, definitely. You have my gratitude, Duchess Tristan." Ouriel responded as she returned the same blissful look of Haniel.
In the meanwhile, the rest of the group simply shook their heads, but not without a grin of relief. In all honesty, the situation had overpowered their senses before they could even proceed. If it wasn't for Haniel's quick thinking, they might have drowned further down their dread.
