Possibilities

Rain was unable to sleep that night waiting for Seara… his first thought was to head for the port town and then talk with Orcis and Lorene if something had happened. His home was connected to all the cities, towns, and villages in the kingdom and to the ocean too, so there was no reason for Seara to be late.

Fortunately, when the sun was rising, she arrived while yawning. It seemed that she had been working a lot lately. For convenience's sake, she began to work like a diplomat between the humans and the sea folk, and out of seven weekdays, she would have three days off. So, her job wasn't that hard, but it looked like something had happened in the last three days.

"Sorry, I am late," Seara said and then yawned again. 

"What happened, it is unusual for you to be late," Rain said at the entrance of the underground path.
