Dorian looked towards the window.
Hovering outside the window was Ciel, her dragon wings flapping back and forth as she stared at her master from behind the window.
"Ciel…"
Dorian stood up from the bed after gently placing the book he was reading. He then proceeded to stride towards the window to open it for her.
The moment he did, Ciel flew straight into the room, her wings closing shut before she went to her knees, her head bowed in respect to her lord.
"Master, I have returned."
Dorian stared at her for a while and then sat at the edge of the window.
"Quicker than I expected. How did it go? Anything I should be worried about?"
He did send her to look after Seraphina in Sualan; the fact that she was back without any distressing signal being sent beforehand meant that the mission was successful without any unusual issues.
Still, it didn't hurt to confirm.
Ciel responded, slightly raising her head to look at him.
