The other four-eared elves behind her also nodded in response, aware of Iris's gaze.

After receiving their response, Iris remained silent for a few seconds, then nodded in understanding and exhaled deeply.

Iris halted her steps and turned to look at Patriarch Rylan, her voice tinged with doubt. "Is there anything else you need, Patriarch Rylan?" she asked.
