Eran's fingers lingered near her lips for a moment, brushing lightly, just enough to draw her attention. "So… that's the summon you called me for tomorrow?" he murmured, low and teasing.
Her gaze flickered down at his hand, then back to his eyes, a faint smile tugging at her lips. "Yes," she said softly, voice even, almost conspiratorial. "But it's… not exactly just for you. The council expects precision, and… well, you'll see. It's Dire's announcement. It matters more than you think."
Eran leaned back slightly, his eyes narrowing with that unreadable edge. "I thought I heard both you and Evelis talking earlier. Something about records and… protocols?"
Selene tilted her head, letting her gaze drift over him for a heartbeat, then spoke softly. "Yes… but there's more. About Evelis' absence tomorrow."
Eran's brow lifted slightly, still leaning close, playful, but attentive. "Oh? Do tell."
