Chapter 119: Crystarion

Azure shakes his head slightly at Nexus's voice but grabs a piece of the raw fish anyway. It glistens under the soft lights of the coral walls, its delicate texture promising something unexpected. As he takes a bite, he's caught off guard by the burst of flavor—savory, fresh, and oddly satisfying. He chews slowly, letting the taste settle, before grabbing another piece.

They continue eating, the conversation drifting to lighthearted topics. Kairoth regales them with tales of past battles, his deep voice resonating through the chamber as he describes legendary creatures and near-impossible victories. Taryn occasionally chimes in with his own exaggerated versions of events, making Kairoth roll his eyes in mock exasperation.

Azure listens, offering the occasional comment, but for the most part, he lets the two of them carry the conversation. He's content to observe, enjoying the camaraderie.
