Serafiel silently regarded the young elf before her, confusing Iris and her friends. They wondered what the demon priestess was thinking at that moment. Ryn was harmless and posed no danger, so why would Serafiel gauge the young elf as if she were a threat?
The tension in the air grew palpable as Serafiel's attention lingered on Ryn's every move. Iris and her friends exchanged worried glances, unsure how to interpret Serafiel's interest in Ryn.
"Is there something wrong with Ryn, Sera?" Iris asked curiously. She didn't think Serafiel meant any harm, but how she stared at Ryn made her uneasy.
Serafiel hummed as she hesitated before finally responding, "I sense a darkness within her, something I've seen before."
Iris was taken aback but worried that Ryn might be in trouble. She already released Ryn from the slave rune that bound them as master and servant, and she feared that there might be lingering effects from it.
