The next few days passed in a blissful haze for Lumi. True to her word, she spent most of her time lazing around in her dorm room, catching up on the rest she'd desperately needed since the mission to secure the Eye of Tempestus. It was quiet, peaceful, and exactly what she wanted. June had tried to drag her into a few "adventures" around the academy, but Lumi stubbornly refused, wrapping herself in her blankets and staying cocooned in her room.
But despite the calm that had settled over her, Lumi couldn't ignore the growing warmth in her chest every time she thought about Cyana. Their journey to the temple, the battles they had fought side by side—it had all deepened her connection to the high elf princess. There was something about Cyana that Lumi couldn't shake. It wasn't just admiration for her strength or the fact that she was incredibly beautiful. It was something more, something that made Lumi feel at ease, but also excited, in ways she didn't fully understand yet.
