When Arlan entered Drayce's room, he found his friend standing in front of the window. He was staring outside, towards the starry sky, looking deep in thought.
"Since we returned from the marketplace, you have been unusually silent. Did something happen?" Arlan asked as he made himself comfortable on a finely crafted wooden chair with a soft red cushion.
Drayce turned to look at him. "I want to know about the Third Princess of Abetha."
His question startled Arlan and made him curious about why his friend was suddenly interested in a stranger. Even more curious, it was a lady to boost. But then again, knowing his friend's temperament since young, he realized it was actually nothing surprising.
