A dark-haired lady stood by the door. Her skin looked really pale and her eyes were a shade of pale green. Nevertheless, even with all the paleness, she was a beauty. 

She looked at Elle with widened eyes as the room went absolutely silent. Until the sound of the spoon clattered noisily on the ceramic plate. 

Zeres immediately rose to his feet, carelessly pushing back the chair that he was sitting on, creating a slight commotion. It was as though he was suddenly thrown into a panic. And that made Elle wonder who this woman was to be able to draw out such exaggerated responses from this seemingly ever cool and calm Zeres.

"Iryz..." He was before her in an instant, hovering over her as he held her arms ever so gently with his large hands. "You shouldn't be here…" his voice was so tender. So very soft as though it were wool.
