After showing Scarlett the dress, Xao quietly made her way toward her own room. The long day had tired her, and she was ready to have dinner and finally rest for the night. But as she walked through the hallway, her steps slowed.
On the balcony of the second floor, she noticed Reiza sitting alone. With her tall fra and long hair flowing in the night breeze, it was impossible not to notice her, even though she was curled up, hugging her knees, her eyes fixed on the stars above.
The loneliness in Reiza’s face was hard to ignore. Xao hesitated for a mont but then decided to approach. Without saying anything at first, she walked over and gently sat down beside her, letting the night air wrap around them both.
“What are you doing here?” Xao asked softly, her eyes lifting toward the starlit sky as well. “Lady Scarlett
herself picked out a dress for you, you know.”
Reiza’s voice ca out low and quiet. “I’m… feeling puzzled.”
Xao turned her head slightly, her lips curving into a faint smile. “Can’t you tell
the details? I suppose we haven't beca that strangers after loosing our ho, Just because we didn't had any conversation for past few days.
