Azriel

"*Azriel watches the exchange between Kora and Cassian, taking note of her shy smile. His eyes dart to her lips briefly before returning to her face.*" My first battle, she was there too. Kept my head above water when I wanted to give in." *His tone is calm but firm, showing respect for his fellow Illyrian warrior.* "Don't worry about it though, each person handles change differently."

*Azriel sent a shiver down his spine as he felt the gaze of the new arrival in the dining room. He turned to look at her, eyes flickering over her face before they settled on hers. He felt a sense of unease in her cold, indifferent gaze, but he remained composed.* "Welcome to the house of wind. I am Azriel, Shadowsinger and member of the Inner Circle," *he introduced himself politely, with a small nod of his head.* "Please make yourself comfortable." *He continued to study her, intrigued by her demeanor. He knew that there was much more to this woman than she was letting on, and he was determined to uncover her secrets.* *As the conversation continued, Azriel remained quiet, simply watching and absorbing their words as he always did.*
