"Good morning, little one," Luna said warmly, crouching to scoop the wyrmling into her arms.
Miryam nuzzled against her chest, letting out a soft hum in acknowledgment. She tilted her head toward the door as if to say she already knew where Kai had gone.
"Yes, he's probably with the others," Luna murmured to herself, stroking the little wyrmling's head. "Even after a night like that, he's already working. That's my Kai…"
She pressed her forehead against Miryam's for a moment, letting herself simply enjoy the warmth. Then she rose, wrapping a light robe around her body before moving to the door.
When she opened it, the hallway was empty now, the scent of mischief and heat from the previous night only faintly lingering in the air. The floor had been tidied, the clothing and chaos cleared away.
