Chapter 379 UnderCurrents.

With Katya gone, Desmond spent a few minutes looking out the window, Serefia's night sky was slightly different than what Desmond was used to, but that didn't stop him from sinking into his thoughts until exhaustion took its toll on his mind.

Taking his eyes off the strangely purple night sky, Desmond was greeted by Kyuru, who had woken up at some point and was now just looking at him calmly as she floated mere inches from Desmond's face.

"I woke you up?" Desmond asked with a slightly guilty expression.

Kyuru shook her head gently, her amethyst eyes still staring at Desmond intently. There was a complicated gleam within that gaze, somewhere between concern and empathy; Kyuru was having a hard time not knowing how to support Desmond.
