An Jin knocked on the door hesitantly. "Mi Yin, are you in there?"
'Strange,' she thought. 'Did he go out hunting? With his lazy personality, he doesn't seem like the type to go out in this heat.'
An Jin stood at the door for a long time, deliberating. She didn't know if she should call out to him again.
After a long moment,
she heard the sound of a snake's tail scraping against something.
A faint "Mm" came from inside the room.
An Jin grew suspicious. "Why didn't you answer before?"
"I was sleeping. I didn't hear you."
She could tell he was in a bad mood, and his reply was dismissive. She nodded, a little upset herself. "All right, then. I won't disturb you. You get some rest..."
The light patter of her footsteps sounded from outside the door, then slowly faded into the distance.
