Aether teleported to Aria's house... Meanwhile, back in the Ebon Stone,
The women stared at each other. There was a small but undeniable awkwardness in the group, as if unspoken words lingered in the silence.
Aria's gaze shifted between Raven and Thalia, her lips parting slightly before closing again. She wanted to say something, but hesitation held her back. Meanwhile, Thalia and Raven exchanged glances, both silently questioning what was going on and why Aria seemed so tense.
Liora sighed, immediately sensing the strange and tense atmosphere. She decided to break the silence before it stretched any longer. Moving toward the Ebon Stone, she gestured slightly before sitting down and calmly saying, "Can we sit and talk?"
The others glanced at her before following suit, one by one settling on the circular stone slab.
Still, Aria remained silent.
