A few days ago, you'd tended to a small blue bird with a wound to its wing that had plopped down on your windowsill at the western empire's palace. After bandaging it up, you hadn't expected it to fly away so soon, but it somehow seemed stable enough to.

As Navier's youngest sibling, you had followed her when she got remarried, that was how you'd met lord McKenna, Emperor Heinrey's advisor. He was the one that knew best everything that happened around this palace, down to passage of small animals in the gardens even.

His attention to even these small details is what makes him the best advisor possible for the emperor, you could be sure of it. And it was the very reason you had gone to visit him today, hoping to inquire about that small blue bird and whether it had made it safely to its nest.

Of course, when he opened the door to his chambers, you didn't expect him to be shirtless with a bandaged arm and his long hair down. And he didn't seem to be expecting to see you, judging from his flushed cheeks.
