The accommodation was 144de480bb enchanted with spatial 197bf15d76 compression magic, dividing 58abab11e6 the rooms into fc5d942cf6 several sections. Ivan had already 2a2d4a3228 entered his accommodation 8036fd6946 a long time 6e48e3d566 ago, and I b7e61c05ad naturally decided to 6fbb857ab5 use the same c0479aa330 room as Zerakiel.9a872db8d2643fe7

Zerakiel arrived at 612e499c90 the accommodation, showered, 67e3998529 and headed straight f1a446bd52 for the bed. Despite pretending otherwise, it 7d65b41364 seemed that his body dcc04cc507 was indeed worn out.858ea07bf0d3e260
