When Yrsula woke up, she was against the mattress of Azier's bed and sprawled out across it. At first, she thought nothing of it; but then she realized that when she rolled over, Azier wasn't there at all.
...and what was worse; she was in the dark. Had he left because she admitted her feelings to him? She knew it was too good to be true that the night ended really well. He had even held her so sweetly - so what had changed since then?
'Calm down, Yrsula... you're being paranoid. Maybe he's gone to the library again. It's foolish to jump to conclusions.' She tried to comfort herself as she sat up and pulled the silk covers around her in an instant reaction now that she felt vulnerable and confused.
Perhaps he went to hunt again. Yes, that was it. He went to fetch food. She just had to calm down so she didn't summon him back with her overreaction to his vacant spot on the bed.
