Accompanied by Ken, Oriana arrived at his home. Upon entering the modest drawing room, their eyes were met with the sight of Ken's anxious wife, Elena, standing just outside one of the rooms.
Elena hastened towards them, "Orian, you are here as well," and then looked at her husband, "Your aunt doesn't seem well at all..."
Elena's words trailed off as Oriana wasted no time, striding purposefully into the room where Luke stood, quietly observing a local physician attending to his mother. The physician's worried sighs hinted at the gravity of the situation.
"How is she?" Oriana inquired, addressing the physician, who momentarily released the woman's wrist to regard her.
"You are..."
"I'm a physician as well. Please, inform me of her condition," Oriana interjected, her gaze shifting to Luke. "I trained under Master Erich. You know I can help."
"You're Master Erich's student, lad?" the physician exclaimed, surprised.
