When Nina woke, she saw Odian already standing by the stove, busy preparing breakfast.
He had changed into a different beast-skin robe today. It was still white, but unlike yesterday's simple design, this one was adorned with delicate patterns and refined embellishments. It looked far more luxurious and noble, yet retained a simple, elegant restraint.
He was focused on stir-frying at the stove. A faint smudge of ash had landed on his fair, handsome face, softening his ethereal air and lending him a touch of warm humanity that made him seem far more approachable.
"Nina, you're awake." The moment he saw her, Odian's face lit up with a smile. "Go wash up first. Breakfast will be ready soon."
"Alright, thanks." Nina smiled back and nodded.
By the time she finished washing, the dishes had already been set on the table—though the arrangement looked… rather odd.
