Valerion slowly stood up. He turned around, making his robe swirl around him; even in the near-darkness of the room, Adrien noticed his serene smile.

"Good morning to you, Adrien; I hope you have had a good night's sleep".

Adrien stammered, unsure of what to say. A few awkward seconds passed, but then Valerion continued: "But if not, that is also understandable, considering the situation - you must be quite nervous about the coming day". He chuckled slightly; Adrien mirrored a weak smile in response.

"Probably not the best idea to offer you breakfast, if that is the case - correct me if I'm wrong?", he continued.

Adrien nodded. "Yes -- I'd rather go right to the lesson, if that is alright with you".

"It is", Valerion said, still smiling. "Follow me, we'll be in the practice tower".
