Another Attempt

With the sun setting as his backdrop, Drayce's tall body cast a long shadow inside his chamber as he stood by the window, seemingly waiting with a faraway gaze. Just a while ago, he heard Seren and Cian talking to each other and got to know the Ilven siblings were finally back. 

After a short while, a majestic bird landed on the window sill and flapped his wings to greet his master. Drayce asked while caressing his head, "Did she have a good time with her brother?"

Dusk pecked on his hand to say yes.

When Seren was busy traveling here and there, she didn't know someone was keeping eyes on them from up above the sky. Drayce had ordered Dusk always to follow her wherever she went.

"Good to know it," Drayce said. His red eyes seemed to shimmer as he pondered. "Will she be happier than this once it's her husband himself who takes her out the next time?"

Dusk didn't react at all, neither saying yes nor no.
