At that moment, Elara burst into the room, a sudden presence cutting through the tension.
Her keen instincts sensed the atmosphere, and her gaze darted between Xylon and Willy.
Her husband attempted to deceive her senses with a reassuring glance.
Elara, sensing the tension in the room, asked with genuine concern, "Is everything okay?" Her eyes, filled with a mixture of worry and curiosity..
Immediately, Willy closed the distance between them, wrapping his arms around Elara in a comforting gesture.
"Yes, dear. Did the kids sleep?" he replied, his tone attempting to convey a sense of normalcy despite the underlying unease in the room.
She glanced at him and then said, "Yes, the storm doesn't seem to end very soon, and that's why I just bathed them and led them to bed. I didn't want them to bother our guest."
Her eyes held a subtle inquiry, seeking confirmation and perhaps a hint of explanation for the tension she sensed in the room.
