After his conversation with Elana and deciding when they would depart, Adrian skipped lunch altogether and returned straight to his room.
He was short on time and needed to be somewhere urgently. If he actually felt hungry during the trip then there was some snacks stored in his Inventory.
Soon, he reached his room and as expected, Ariana was already waiting for him.
"What kept you so long?" she asked, brows raised. She could faintly smell coffee on him.
"I was just talking with Elana and informed her when I could spare some time to meet her father," Adrian replied before asking, "Where is Annabelle?"
Ariana sighed. "Still in the bathroom. Probably sleeping."
Adrian gave a wry smile. While he, Ariana, and Ruby had to leave for their respective duties, Annabelle at least had the luxury of sleeping for a few hours.
Even so, those precious hours were clearly not enough for her.
