As they approached the table, Mia motioned for Adrian to wait. She sneaked up behind Irithel, a mischievous glint in her eyes. Despite Mia's stealth, Irithel's keen senses had already picked up on her presence. Still, she played along, pretending to be engrossed in her conversation.
"Boo!" Mia exclaimed, jumping up behind Irithel.
Irithel feigned a startle, turning around with wide eyes. "Oh, Mia! You got me!"
Mia giggled, clearly pleased with herself. "Sister Irithel, I wanted to introduce you to someone. Someone from the academy!"
Irithel raised an eyebrow in curiosity. "Oh? Who might that be? Did a student pick up the mission we posted yesterday?"
Mia nodded enthusiastically. "Yes, And... ta-da!" She turned dramatically to reveal Adrian standing nearby.
Irithel's eyes widened in genuine surprise as her eyes landed on Adrian. 'Sir A-Adrian?' She was at a loss for words as she never expected to see him here.
