A sincere warning

Syryn was in the garden with Levia when a golden carriage pulled up to the gate. The duo hid behind some bushes and spied on the pretty carriage that rolled in with two glossy black stallions at its front. 

A man stepped out and then a woman. He couldn't see their features but could tell that they weren't ordinary people. 

"Hush, girl. If they see you, they might try to take you away," he told the little monster who was making sounds from deep inside her throat. Levia's smooth scaled body twitched in response to Syryn putting his hand around her neck.

He saw Rowan walk out of the kitchen and speak with the newly arrived guests. From their body language, Syryn could tell that Rowan wasn't unhappy with the impromptu late-night visit.
