"Valen!"

I stopped on my track and looking back, blinking in surprise. "Natha?" I turned back happily, and was about to run back to the house when I heard his voice again.

Panne and the guards also seemed to be surprised by the tone, to the point that they even reflexively raised their defense around me. The spreading cold that was getting closer and closer rooted me in place for a few seconds, but Ignis finally flicked its flaming tail on my shoulder, and I gasped out of my stupor.
