The dormitory space was not large. The woman standing opposite Tilan had black hair tinged with brown, sallow skin, and slightly wrinkled fingers, probably from frequent soaking in water.
After Tilan asked, she responded somewhat unclearly.
"Yes."
Seeing that the other party was still somewhat nervous, Tilan shook her head, glanced at the large door open at the side, and simply raised her hand to have the maid by the door close it. The room then became quiet, with only the sound of two people breathing.
"You can sit by the bed, it will be a lot more comfortable." Tilan told her not to be so nervous, and then sat down herself in a chair beside the small table in the room.
"Yes, yes." The other person, still somewhat anxious, supported herself on the bed and slowly sat down, her body still a bit stiff.
Knowing that it wouldn't change immediately, Tilan no longer asked the other to relax.
"I'm just looking to understand your situation, not to punish you."
