The Elder was, for several seconds, stuck between the conscious realm and the dream realm as she yawned, returning more ounces of consciousness to her wizened body.
She rubbed her right eye and looked around the hall, noticing Nyx for the first time since she had dozed off as Aaron began to narrate the story of his day.
"Oh, Nikola dear. What are you doing here?" she asked cheerfully, like a grandmother addressing her grandchild.
Nyx smiled back at the cheerful, free spirited old lady and answered: "Nothing much, Lady Rosa. I'm just here to report an update with the events of the Tartarus Guild."
"Oh? Those scoundrels are at it again. Don't let them bother your beautiful, young mind, Nikola. I'm sure you are capable of handling them."
