An old man, roused from his slumber by the commotion, sat up in bed in the far corner of the room. A night lamp flickered on, casting a soft glow and revealing his surprised expression.
"Who is there?" he asked, his voice a mix of confusion and curiosity.
Apologizing quickly for the disturbance, Ty addressed the old man with a brief, "Sorry to wake you, we were just heading out." Without waiting for a response, Ty conjured a fireball, sending it hurtling towards the window next to the old man. The glass shattered upon impact, causing the old man to reel back in shock as a gust of cold air rushed into the room, signaling their imminent escape.
