Yorian made his way to the lounge, where Arlan, Seren, and Drayce awaited news. Given Oriana's reluctance to engage with Arlan, they decided to get Yorian to interact with her as he was the closest person to her like a friend.
"What did you discern?" Drayce inquired, his tone laced with anticipation.
"Nothing satisfactory. You two must have already heard it while sitting here," Yorian replied only to hear Arlan say with a loud frown, "I wasted time for nothing," and stood up to leave.
Arlan looked at him and heard him say, "Something really is going on in her mind. Be cautious."
"I don't have to be cautious of her." Arlan retorted dismissively.
Yorian's brow furrowed with concern. "Understand that she is not just an ordinary Oriana now, but someone different."
"She remains the same to me," he declared before exiting without further ado.
