Lyan woke early, the memories of the passionate act before still vivid in his mind. The morning sun cast a warm glow through the grand windows, illuminating the intricate stonework of the castle. He dressed quickly and made his way to the meeting hall, where Wilhelmina and the Valkyries were already gathered.
"Good morning, everyone," Lyan greeted, his voice filled with purpose. "How's everyone feeling today?"
Wilhelmina, sharp-eyed and focused as always, nodded. "Morning, Lyan. Ready to tackle the day's challenges. We've got quite a bit to cover."
Surena grinned, her long greyish-brown hair shimmering in the sunlight. "And maybe we'll find some time for a bit of fun later, right?"
Lyan chuckled, appreciating the lightness in the air. "Let's get through the business first, then we'll see about the fun."
