Kapitel 111: The Beast and the Sage

Eratz leaned against the ledge, raising an eyebrow as Raya settled into the shadows with a calm, mysterious smile that seemed right at home in the night.

"I take it you knew I was here?" she asked, a palpable calm in her voice. "Your heart didn't miss a beat when you saw me."

He chuckled, scratching the back of his neck.

Eratz shrugged, still eyeing her with curiosity.

"I respect people's privacy," he replied. "Thought maybe you were meditating or… sleeping."

Raya rose gracefully, brushing off the folds of her simple robe as she stepped closer, her movements almost soundless. She tilted her head thoughtfully.

"Meditating, yes, perhaps… or maybe just… existing." She paused. "I imagine that's something you're used too, I can also feel that you're an endless stream of will."

Eratz gave her a bewildered look, his lips twitching into a smirk.

"What's happening here?"

Raya laughed softly, tilting her head.
