Maya slaps the top of a lunchbox, closing the last one. Ian wipes his wet hands on the apron. He looks out to the dining area and sees Phanes and Eric still talking. His eyes wander around to find Kyrie, but his eyes never land on his familiar figure.
His heart skips a beat.
Ian quickly takes off his apron and toss it on the counter. He proceeds to walk around the lounge. Then, he quickens up his pace towards his room.
There are no signs of Kyrie.
He continues looking around the inn thoroughly on every corner. His heart beats each time louder in his ears. His breath starts to quicken, and cold sweat prickles his back. His eyes wander around rapidly to look for Kyrie once again.
Phanes stops Ian by tugging on his arm.
"Are you looking for something?"
"Where is Kyrie? I just saw him minutes ago. He is gone!"
"He might have gone out with Erebus since Erebus is also not here."
"Where?"
Phanes shakes her head.
