The inn secured for the Sandoval family's temporary lodgings was quiet and cool as the evening steadily waned into night despite the varied comings and goings of those who claimed it as their residence-du-jour. For Angelia, the inn served dual purpose as hub for the family but also to begin conducting the numerous tasks to secure the family's footing within Bordelaix while she awaited the last arriving members in Rosalinda, Maricela and Sebastian. Once the family was fully gathered, activity would begin in earnest.
Taking advantage of the brief lull, Angelia opted to seek out her brother Rafael. He had arrived only that morning with the Blackthornes, and they'd not had much of a chance to talk thus far due to appointments and other matters that commanded her attention until sunset. Dante took himself off after a light dinner about his own affairs, leaving her to her own devices and an opportunity to seek out Rafael's company. Approaching the room that stood as his, she lifted a hand to knock lightly in order to gain his permission to enter.
The hour was not so late that she feared waking him, though she confessed to herself that she would not be surprised to find him gone. Rafael might have joined Dante in his nightly prowls through the city, seeking entertainment. Despite that very real possibility, Angelia remained just outside the door in hopeful anticipation that Rafael would answer and give them time to catch up. She was most curious to hear how he'd progressed with the Warden of Estersea and his sister.
After a moment, she called out, "Rafael? Are you in there?"
