"Thanks, Kane." Rui smiled back warmly. "I appreciate that."

The gates of the Dullahan Manor closed behind them as Amare stretched, reaching for the skies with her arms and standing on her toes. "Ah… sitting for that long has made my body feel stiff. Do you want to spar a bit?"
"Later," Rui promised. "We have some more people to meet."
The afternoon sun in the kandrian sky beamed down on them with an uncomfortable warmth. Its heat had reached a much greater level of intensity ever since the Unfolding, leading to immense climate and weather changes that they had yet to fully adapt to.
