In his usual dark and gloomy room, Auriel was sitting on the couch and leaning his head back, slowly rubbing his temples with his long fingers.
Elise was also sitting, directly on Auriel's side. Her face turned to Auriel with tiny light under her blindfold and slight concern on her expression.
After Auriel slapped the hand of the guard, he didn't even spare a glance at them again and grabbed Elise's wrist, escorting her to his room quickly, while being considerate of her blindness. This was a pretty abrupt move from Auriel and this was the reason Elise was concerned about him.
Slowly Elise moved towards Auriel's side and moved her hand towards his shoulder, before lowering again without nudging him.
Her hesitancy won over her worries, her life was more important than Auriel for her. There was no actual need for her to voice out her concern for Auriel as that might cause trouble for her while Auriel was unstable like this.
