Aria returned to her room with thoughts of worrying about Nana and the phoenix king. She didn't really know the phoenix king because it was her first time meeting the beast-man. But she already thought of Nana as her little sister.
Hearing that Nana had a romantic relationship with the phoenix king, but they couldn't be together in the truest sense, made Aria's heartache.
She wanted to do something for them, but she knew she would only make things worse if she did.
Once inside her room, the only thing that greeted her was a well-built, muscular torso with a towel wrapped around a man's underside.
Lyod had finished bathing but still felt reluctant to wear clothes and only wrapped around a towel. He was standing by the window, leaning against the wall to look out there.
Sensing Aria's presence, Lyod turned around and smiled to greet the girl.
