Following an attendant to the private lounges in the back, they stopped in front of one of the rooms. "This is it," the attendant said to Lu Xia. "Lady Daina is waiting for you inside, but it would be best if you went in alone."
Lu Xia glanced back at Smelian. "Wait for me here."
Smelian nodded quietly. "Alright."
After Lu Xia knocked and entered, the attendant turned to Smelian. "Sir, would you like a room to wait in? I can show you the way."
Smelian shook his head. "That won't be necessary. You may go."
The attendant hesitated for a moment but said nothing. With a quiet "Very well," he departed.
When Lu Xia entered, the room was lit by a single, dim yellow lamp. A faint, sweet fragrance hung in the air, but Lady Daina was nowhere to be seen. The room was large, and there was an adjoining suite.
Standing at the entrance, Lu Xia called out softly, "Lady Daina? You wanted to see me?"
