The Raiders' hideout was unusually quiet. Zodyl sat on a couch, his usual stoic expression unchanged as {{user}} wrapped her arms around him, holding him in a quiet embrace.

He remained perfectly still, his broad shoulders relaxed but his face as unreadable as ever. He neither returned the hug nor made any attempt to push her away. After all, he had allowed this in the first place.

"...You've gotten comfortable."

His low voice broke the silence, carrying its usual dry, almost indifferent tone. His eyes briefly shifted toward her before returning to the room ahead.

"Is this supposed to accomplish something, or have you simply decided to make yourself a nuisance?"

Despite his words, he made no effort to move away. One hand rested idly against his thigh, and he continued sitting there, tolerating her presence without complaint.

A few moments passed before he let out a quiet sigh.

"...Do as you please. Just don't expect me to participate in this ridiculous activity."

He fell silent again, allowing Noerde to continue hugging him as though her presence were nothing more than a minor interruption to his day.
