He smiled helplessly, gently stroking her little head, "Don't worry. Once we leave the city, I'll make sure to cook delicious meals for you again."
Lyra immediately brightened, smiling happily and leaning affectionately against Orion, her small eyes closing in enjoyment as he continued patting her. Orion gently smiled seeing her peaceful face.
After the meal, Orion took Lyra on a leisurely stroll around Silverfall City, introducing her to numerous fun and entertaining places.
Lyra laughed and skipped joyfully throughout, her cheerful and innocent face earning smiles from the surrounding passersby, further warming Orion's heart.
Soon, the sun dipped below the horizon. Orion led Lyra to an inn nearby, quickly renting a luxurious room for their stay.
Upon entering their accommodation, Orion knelt down to gently instruct Lyra with a patient, caring tone, "Lyra, be good and stay in the room for now. I have some important things to handle outside. I'll be back shortly, alright?"
