Scarlet dressed and left her bedroom while Ian had his turn to get ready for the day. She first decided to look for Alana since she would have been curious about the fire. 

As Scarlet made her way down to the first floor, she heard a lot of noise which was unusual for the estate at this time since she liked for it to be quiet. 

"Ryan?" Scarlet said, surprised to see the familiar face at the door already. "I wasn't expecting you for another day."

Ryan Callahan, Commander of the Callahan knights and leader of the border, looked up the stairs at the woman he was about to search for. "The ride here was faster than we planned. We ended up making fewer stops. Did you just wake up?"

"A little while ago but I did miss breakfast so if you and your knights are hungry, I could have something prepared now. What are they feeding you for you to be so tall?" Scarlet wondered, inspecting his height which appeared higher than she remembered.
