Kael stood for a moment, trying to recompose his posture, but his mind was still partly occupied with the latest discoveries about his newly acquired power. He felt a slight tension in the room, an almost electric sensation coming from Lyra, her presence now even more tangible with the way she dominated the space around her.
He finally took a deep breath and walked over to the table where Lyra was sitting. His steps were steady, but something in his chest seemed to be pounding harder than usual. It wasn't just Lyra's presence, but the very change he was feeling inside.
Lyra watched him carefully, an enigmatic smile on her lips, but her eyes sparkled with a slight hint of amusement, as if she knew exactly the effect she was having. Kael felt a slight discomfort, but kept his posture. She always had this ability to affect him more than she should, but this was no time to get lost in distractions.
