Sayn rose as quietly as she had fallen. She hadn't fallen into the comforting arms of a deep sleep since she was very young, and this night had been no different. With no urgency in her movements the tiefling gathered her belongings and shot a quick glance to the mirror. She tugged a loose strand of her dark ruby hair behind her slightly tapered ear, pushing one side of her hood back slightly from her face as she did so. One pale grey eye, cold and distant, stared blankly back at her. Her eyebrow arched slightly as she lost herself in the reflection's gaze, watching as a fire grew behind pupils. A black ring became more apparent around the iris, as though it had suddenly been charred about the edge. Then, deep in the reflection within the reflection of the eyes was a glimmer of movement...
Sayn snapped to attention, looking somewhat disconcerted as she gripped her sword and turned slowly around. Nothing there.
Sayn shook her head, readjusted her hood, and apathetically made her way out of the room to meet her companion.
