Amael's face broke into a small smile as he approached them, his usual air of effortless confidence surrounding him.
He had a way of making even the grandest surroundings seem casual, and today was no different.
His easy manner seemed to cut through the formalities of the occasion, adding a touch of familiarity to the high-stakes atmosphere.
"Finally, you two have arrived!" Amael said, stopping right in front of Jash and Caera before turning to the guide.
"You may leave," he ordered with the proper politeness expected of him, and she hesitated for less than a second before leaving.
Acknowledging her bow with a nod, Jash said blankly, "Thank you for being our guide until now."
"I was starting to think you might miss all the fun," Amael chimed in, his gaze returning to the twins as the maid walked away.
Jash, trying to hide his inner emotions, forced a smile in response and Caera interrupted before he could say anything.
