"Ahh!"
Hearing someone respond to his question from behind him all of a sudden, Valyr immediately went into fight or flight mode, releasing his aura in its entirety as he turned around to see who sneaked up on him.
"Who…?" Clenching his fists in preparation for a potential fight, the young man's expression was incredibly serious as the attire that the person wore was not something he was familiar with.
"…Oh. It's just you, Riekan." Fortunately, the tension he felt swiftly washed away the moment he laid his eyes upon the person's face, prompting him to let out a wide sigh of relief not even a second later.
Taking a bit of time to regain his bearings after that, the young man briefly let out an exhale before looking at the man in front of him with a hint of confusion. "How long have you been here?"
"A few minutes, give or take," said Riekan in response, only for him to return a slightly confused look back at Valyr soon after. "Why do you ask?"
