Damian was the first one in the training room. The others had yet to arrive. He and Reize sat on the wooden benches he had made, gazing at the moonlight trickling through the colorful glass window. After a few minutes, he sensed the others heading toward the room. The first to arrive was Lucian.
Her eyes widened in surprise at the sight of Reize in Damian's arms, the couple sitting together in silence. She froze at the entrance, watching them. Sensing her presence, Damian gently let Reize go, but Lucian didn't come closer. Soon, however, the others arrived, and together they finally approached him.
The table he had crafted earlier in the room was just large enough for Maelor, Einar, Evrin, Grace, Lucian, and Sam to sit around. Reize stood beside Damian as he moved from the bench near the window to join them at the table.
