Iris was not sure how she managed to stay alive with Cane’s body weighing down on her, but she was thankful to wake up and be alive. She looked around her, but she found out that she was alone.
However, not long after that, she saw Cane walk out of the bathroom, his hair was wet with water droplets trickling down his chiseled jaw down to his neck and shoulder. He just fastened a towel around his hips when their eyes met.
For a brief second, they stared at each other, until Cane grumbled. "I overslept!" He glared at her accusingly, which startled her, but he soon averted his gaze and put on his shirt and pants.
Actually, it was not that Cane was angry at her because she put him to sleep, but it was most likely he didn’t know what to do about it, it was so bizarre for him to have a good night’s sleep, without his nightmares tormenting him.
For the first time he felt... normal, if you could put it that way...
After he put on his shirt and felt there was no movement from Iris, he turned around and looked at her with knitted brows. "What are you doing? Still not moving?"
Iris was afraid when he looked so angry, thus she didn’t do anything just in case she triggered him to get angrier at her.
But, with that remark, she remembered Cane had said they would go to see the head of the Rosantine guild today.
Because this organization was from the Karam continent, it would be a good thing if they could use Kars during conversation, just in case.
Last night, Will and Redmond had gone out to find more information about this guild and how to contact them.
And from what they reported to him this morning, it was not difficult to find where they were, but meeting with the head of the guild was another problem entirely.
"I- I will wash my face," Iris immediately rushed to the bathroom and when she came out, Cane was no longer there, but there was a set of breakfast waiting on the table for her.
==========================
"I spotted the Crown Prince earlier. He arrived two hours ago with Sir Maleen, the advisor," Will reported this to Cane, as he waited for Iris to come down.
"Can you find out what they are looking for in this black market?" Cane looked at the street through the window beside him. It was still weird for him to see how the situation here was no different from aboveground.
He wondered how vast this underground was. Was this as big as the lucent sand desert? Were they under that desert?
