Twenty minutes earlier:
As Miriam's figure moved past the buildings with startling speed, a male figure silently followed her.
'I wonder where this person is going this late and with such urgency too.'
The cold wind blew against his face as he increased his speed abruptly. His ash-brown hair shone in the soft glow of the moonlight, a cheerful smile plastered on his face.
'Hmm...I wonder if my bestest friend is doing okay. I'm supposed to be in the academy tomorrow or Celdric will start throwing a tantrum again~'
A few hours passed as he expertly evaded the senses of his target, and a modest inn illuminated with a softly glowing lamp came into his view.
'Isn't that where he stayed? Drok told me he stayed here before moving in with Dad. What's this person doing there?'
He crouched on a roof near the house, his lips frowning in confusion.
His ears glowed with a blue hue immediately after the person entered the inn.
