Jaira turned her gaze toward the window, her voice softening with a tinge of worry.
"I just... I really miss my mom."
Auren tilted his head. "Is she away on a mission?"
"Yeah. She's been stationed along the southwestern edge of Runewood for the past few weeks. It's become one of the most dangerous zones lately."
Auren blinked at that, something clicking in the back of his mind.
'Southwest...? That's facing Runeterra, isn't it? The kingdom we originally came from?'
His eyes narrowed as realization began to take shape.
"Dangerous? What's going on over there?" he asked, a note of concern creeping into his voice.
Jaira let out a sigh, crossing her arms as her expression darkened.
