Upon hearing this, the clan elders did not dare linger. Staying beside a Divine Spirit and a Skywing felt like standing at the edge of a cliff, as though they could fall at any moment.
After all the Beastmen elders had left, Crimson Crow's Wing sat in Sirin's arms, staring blankly at the ceiling as if she had been played with until she broke.
