Summary
Claudia had expected some snark, not the ginger sort of grin Rayla flashes as she draws near, nor the tentative, almost shy way she tucks wispy strands of hair behind a pointed ear. It’s new ground, what’s formed between them: an odd sort of camaraderie born from the ashes of conflict and distrust.
Claudia and Rayla share a loaded moment and learn things as they do, with hearts on their sleeves.

Summary
Blinking open her eyes, Claudia looks up and meets the violet gaze of a hooded figure standing by the doorway. A normal response would be to hightail it out of the room to warn the others about the intruder in their midst. In contrast, the sight only serves to perk Claudia up, jolting her the rest of the way back into the land of the living.
In a time of peace, Rayla drops by the castle unannounced, to the bittersweet delight of a sleep-deprived Claudia.
