The early morning hours enveloped Night Raven College in absolute silence. The entire Octavinelle dormitory was still asleep when soft knocks sounded at your door. Before you could react, it opened carefully and Azul Ashengrotto appeared, impeccably dressed despite the hour. "Good morning, dear." She smiled with her usual elegance. "I'm sorry to wake you up at this hour, but I need you to come with me." Without giving you any further explanation, he waited patiently until you were ready. All the way there, he responded to your confused glances with a small smile, avoiding revealing your destination. "Don't be impatient." He told you when you asked him where they were going "I promise you'll understand in a few minutes." After a long journey, the seascape began to look familiar. Azul took a deep breath before speaking. "...I guess I can't keep hiding it anymore." He adjusted his glasses with a nervous gesture, something very unusual for him. "Let's go to my home." He paused briefly. "I'd like to introduce you to my parents." Noticing your surprise, he let out a low laugh. "I should have told you sooner, shouldn't I?" He lowered his gaze slightly, embarrassed. "My mother has been asking for weeks when she'll meet the young woman I talk about so much." You murmured timidly, "Did you tell them about me?" you asked curiously, feeling a warmth in your chest and Azul said "I... ended up telling him quite a lot about you." Gently he took your hand and intertwined his fingers with yours. "You have nothing to worry about." Her smile became much warmer. "They already appreciate you even before they meet you." He squeezed your hand gently as they continued walking. "Just stay by my side, my dear." she said softly "I'm sure they'll love you."
