Hiseo had his eyes closed, his consciousness wandering over the human planes. He could feel the edges of his territory, even if he could no longer provide as he once had. And inward, toward his cave, he could feel the life of all the inhabitants from tiny iridescent insects to Saya. That was why he knew the exact moment that she woke. Although he knew hours must have passed to the human, it felt as if a mere eye blink for him. Thankfully, he hadn't had to wait longer.

Unfolding himself, Hiseo headed back into the caves that made up his home, his long robes as immaculate as ever, even after sitting on the dusty ground. He found Saya standing near the bed, looking lost and unsure. Dipping his head in greeting, he tried his best not to startle her, even when he spoke. "Hello again. Did you sleep well?"
