Elian excitement was all over the place, his anticipation building as he prepared for the day's secret adventure with Izan.
He dressed in plain, comfortable clothes, the kind he never usually wore within the palace walls.
Izan had insisted they blend in, so they both donned simple outfits to avoid any attention. The two exchanged a smile before heading to meet Niko and Dillion, who were also clad in commoner attire.
Dillion, ever the dutiful guard, stood tall and stoic, but there was a glint of curiosity in his eyes as he awaited the day's adventure. Niko, on the other hand, couldn't hold back his excitement. He grinned from ear to ear, thrilled to be part of Elian's first real outing beyond the palace.
As they gathered in the entry hall, Aria stepped in, looking ready to join, but then she eyed the group and shook her head with a smirk. "On second thought, I'll pass. Don't want to be the fifth wheel, you know?"
