When Elijah spotted Amber approaching, he quickly walked over to her, his usual stern demeanor softening into one of warmth and politeness as he took the items from her hands. "What took you so long?"

Feeling his grip on her hand, Amber chuckled lightly, "I wanted to pick up some gifts for your parents, got a bit held up."

"You didn't have to, your presence is more than enough."

As Amber glanced at Octavia still kneeling on the ground, she inquired, "Who's that?"
