Cale was the first one to wake up, his eyes slowly adjusting to the morning light filtering through the windows. He glanced at Athanasia, still sleeping soundly in her bed.

Cale couldn't help but think she must be incredibly exhausted from last night's events. She had used both magic and ancient power, an immense feat for anyone. He sat there for a moment, admiring her peaceful slumber before deciding it was time to get ready for the day ahead.
After freshening up, Cale summoned Choi Han to his room. Choi Han entered and saw Cale already seated, holding a mug of something warm in his hands. Cale motioned for him to sit down, and once Choi Han was settled, Cale put his mug down with a sigh.
"Hahh... I was really exhausted since last night," Cale admitted. "I think I need more rest. My stomach hurts now because I drank too much, even though Athanasia already warned me about it. And I couldn't sleep well last night because I felt like someone was staring at me."

Cale glanced over at Athanasia once more, concern etched on his face, before turning his gaze back to Choi Han.
"You took care of everything?" Cale asked, his voice tinged with weariness.
Choi Han nodded. "Yes, I have erased all the marks left on the way here, and I made a fake trail leading west to throw off any potential pursuers."
"Well done," Cale praised, appreciating Choi Han's efficiency.
