The morning light streamed through the tall windows of the guest chamber, warm.
Brandon stood near the bed, pulling on the last of his clothes.
He adjusted the collar and rolled his shoulders, feeling the pleasant stretch in his muscles after a restful night.
At that moment, he heard a soft knock on the door "Come in,"
The door opened quietly, and Amelia stepped inside, holding a small wooden box in both hands.
She was dressed in a simple morning gown with her blonde hair neatly braided and pinned back.
Her hazel eyes were bright, but there was a touch of nervousness in her posture that she tried to hide behind a polite smile.
Brandon turned to her fully, "Amelia."
She walked closer "Sir Kael, good luck on your journey."
Brandon's smile softened as he looked at her "Thank you, I appreciate it. We'll be heading to the western side soon. Hopefully it won't take too long."
Amelia nodded, her fingers tightening slightly around the edges of the wooden box.
