The room was enveloped with silence. The man had simply stood from where he stayed, right next to the open window where a cold breeze of wind blew into the room.
The stillness and awkward silence continues existing between them. Talia didn't know what to do in this situation. One, she never expected to be in a fight with a High Mortal such as a Daeman. Two, she was embarrassed and upset at herself for hoping he would appear and save her. And lastly, and most importantly, she didn't know what to say to him.
Their last encounter with each other had ended in a bad note with her driving him away. His arrival that night had absolutely shocked her and pained her, so much so that her head couldn't keep up with what was going on and ended up lashing on him.
