While Ethan, Eris, and I indulged in the comforts of Lyriaâs villageâtouring and resting to our heartsâ contentâI found myself sprawled out on the warm floor, ignoring the bed entirely. Ethan, mirroring my posture, melted into the floor beside me, suddenly posed a question.
âWhere are we supposed to go today, Lilith?â
âIf I remember what Lyria said correctly, weâre going to the Frozen Desert. Apparently, the snowfields are breathtaking this time of year~.â
âReally? Now that I think about it, this might be the first time Eris sees proper snow. She was only three months old when it snowed in Blackwood last year.â
âSnow? Like this?â Eris pointed to a speck of lint she had picked up.
âThatâs snow too, but Daddyâs talking about the kind that falls from the sky~.â@@novelbin@@
âFrom the sky? Scary~!â
âItâs okay, Eris~. Youâll see itâs not scary at all when it falls~.â
Eris, with her pure, childlike innocence, reacted with wonder befitting a two-year-old, while Ethan and I exchanged amused smiles. As we basked in the floorâs warmth, enjoying the family moment, a familiar voice echoed from beyond the door.
Knock, knock.
âLilith, may I come in for a moment?â
Creak.
