It was obvious who sent it. Ayen read them again before looking at the card details.
He tried to stay calm, but the obvious shaking of his hands betrayed his real emotion. For some reason, he found it hard to compose himself.
Devion and Khal finally arrived.
That realization completely pulled him from his agonizing thoughts, and all he could think about was... running to the place indicated to meet the two espers.
Ayen had not thought that he was this eager to meet them again until that phone call. It was strange... This feeling, which he felt, was so uncharacteristic of him.
Yet, he was not repulsed by it in the slightest. Instead, he felt like welcoming this change, no matter where it led him. Ayen's life had been stagnant for far too long, and a little wave of change was very noticeable.
Despite his feelings, Ayen did not immediately leave. With the card in his hand, he finished what he was doing. The two were not urging him, and Ayen could not just leave without an excuse.
