"Are you alright?"
The moment Azul and Roxanna opened their eyes, Zeir stepped forward and asked the question.
He looked genuinely worried because over the past few hours, both of them had looked as though they were trapped in some terrible nightmare. They had shouted, cried out, and even thrashed around several times.
If Azul hadn't specifically told him not to interfere unless he asked for help, Zeir would have woken them up long ago.
"Be quiet for a moment," Azul said. His voice came out colder than usual.
Zeir blinked in surprise because Azul rarely spoke like that, especially to him. Still, he didn't take it personally. In the end, he simply nodded and stayed quiet.
When Calen started walking toward them, Zeir even stopped him and told him to give them some space until they were feeling better.
On the other side, Azul took several deep breaths, looking a little lost as he continued staring at the cave ceiling.
