(Next Morning)
I sit up in bed, crossing my arms and leveling a fierce, unblinking glare at Grandpa and Kael, who are standing perfectly at attention near the doorway.
"Both of you, spill the beans right now!" I demand, narrowing my eyes. "What exactly was he doing in my room in the middle of the night? Tell me the absolute truth! Did he really just come in here to check on me? Or was it to talk to you? Or... or was he trying to secretly send you two away to get some privacy?!"
"It was both, my lady," Kael answers smoothly, completely unfazed by my interrogation. "My Lord came to check on your well-being, as well as to speak with us directly. He intended to brief us on what transpired in the ocean, but since you had already explained everything to us earlier, he instead used the time to outline his further steps."
"I see..." I murmur, absorbing the information. I look around the room, noting his absence. "So where is he right now?"
