After a long, deep sleep, Kuria didn't wake up until noon. She felt slightly better, even if a dull headache still throbbed behind her eyes. The strange events of the night were already a distant memory as she padded sleepily into the kitchen. The welcoming scent of coffee greeted her and so did an unexpected guest, sitting right at the table with a fresh brew.

"Hey there, sleepyhead," Lydea greeted her, a charming smile lighting up her face as she giggled.
