"Brother Kaelis!"
Aurien's voice echoed brightly through the throne room the second Kaelis stepped inside.
Kaelis and Aamon had split up earlier in the halls, mostly because Aamon apparently needed to personally fetch Samson before the meeting properly started.
Which meant Kaelis arrived alone.
And unfortunately—
The first thing he saw upon entering the throne room were two people waiting there already.
One person he didn't mind seeing.
And one person he absolutely did.
'I know what I told Ezra but…' Kaelis thought quietly the second his eyes landed briefly on Helios standing near the side of the room.
But Kaelis immediately looked away and headed straight toward Aurien instead.
'...the only suspect I actually have is Helios.'
He was almost sure it was Helios all along.
"How are you, brother?" Aurien asks warmly as soon as Kaelis reaches him, immediately pulling him into a quick hug while patting his back lightly.
Kaelis exhales softly at the familiar affection.
