I took my hand off the door once Nymeria and Ume were inside. The metallic door groaned as it slowly returned to its place, sealing with a heavy thud.
Naturally, I took the seat beside Aryan, with Nymeria and Ume settling on my other side.
"Ha-haha, you have made it," Aryan chuckled once I settled, his voice carrying an unusual nervousness.
"Yeah."
"Y-you did not get any bumps on the road, right?" He asked, his tone awkward, fingers fidgeting on his lap.
"Bro, I came in a chopper."
"..."
He turned to Nymeria. "D-did you like our humble house? It is smaller than the castle you lived in."
"No, I loved your abode," Nymeria replied with a faint smile, her pale eyes softening. "You have a beautiful castle."
"Ah-ahaha, do not call it a castle. It does not deserve such praise." He rubbed the back of his neck, a nervous habit.
His eyes shifted to Ume as he continued, sweat trickling down his face. "I hope Inayat did not cause any trouble."
