Two days passed.
In the middle of the night — the beginning of the second day — Azalea left Mikhail's tent after spending her time learning Irreri, the language of the Avemen, for several hours. And then, she went back to her family's tent.
There, Azalea shared the information about Mikhail's fake condition with her parents, and while they had seemed to be mildly skeptical about Mikhail's well-being… They had ultimately rolled with what she said and didn't pry into it much.
And before she returned to Mikhail's tent, her parents told her that they were departing for the higher floors of The Tower, and that they would return in due time for dinner with Mikhail.
Thus, Mikhail and Azalea spent the entire day and following night together, studying the different languages of the Pneuma as the physical and emotional distance seemed to grow shorter between the two.
