As the next morning arrived, Aegis didn't spend too long in bed.
She was nearly finished getting ready, putting on just some black boots, gloves, shorts, and a white shirt, as Rosalie stirred in bed.
[... Almost feels like "the morning after", hehe.]
"Good morning," Aegis called out, adjusting her gloves.
"Morning, my Lady."
Rosalie sat up, rubbing her eyes. Her hair was a mess, green strands sticking out in every direction, and she had a pillow crease running down one cheek.
"Did you just get back?" she asked, squinting at the window. "It's barely dawn."
"Got back a few hours ago, actually. Couldn't sleep much." Aegis stretched her arms over her head. "Too excited."
"Excited about what?"
"Tonight." Aegis grinned. "I'm fighting the griffin."
Rosalie's sleepiness vanished instantly.
"Tonight? Already?"
