A Gift?
Just like that, Shien successfully extricated himself from a situation where he might have been punished. Having accomplished his goal, he returned directly to House Razahad and slept soundly.
It was not just Shien. Vivian, Tier, Lumya, and Merika were all exhausted as well. They had not been able to rest properly out in the wilderness, so after returning to House Razahad, they washed up and promptly went back to their rooms to sleep.
