Ty quickly chimed in, trying to downplay the situation. "Well, maybe she was flirting, but I wasn't really sure. It all happened so fast," he said, his skeletal hand moving to his skull in a gesture of uncertainty. "But we should probably slip away before she actually comes out."
Before Nana could respond, the unexpected happened. A door nearby slammed open, and Bracken emerged, a glass filled with pink liquid in her hand, half empty. Her eyes scanned the crowd until they landed on Ty. "Where is he?" she demanded, her voice carrying a mix of excitement and determination.
As Ty and Nana turned to make a quick escape, Ty suddenly felt the fabric of his cloak being tugged. In an instant, he was pulled into a headlock by Bracken. "It is you!" she exclaimed, her grip firm. "What are you doing all the way out here? Aren't you supposed to be fighting some creatures or something? I heard rumors about a structure appearing and monsters threatening the capital."
