When Adrien woke up from his nap, the sun had already set; now it was the light of the fireplace and of the many torches around the walls to illuminate the hall. His eyes focused on the figure of Valerion, who was still sitting by the table on his armchair; he could see an assortment of open books in front of him around the journal on which he was writing. Adrien moved the blanket away from his face; as he did so, Valerion turned towards him, acknowledging his awakening with a smile on his face.

"Welcome back", he said. "Did you have a good nap?".
