Though Carmaz had said that he was going to go tell Alira about Raya's awakening, he didn't intend to do that right away. He left the apartment building and walked off in a random direction, not even thinking about where he was going. He just followed the street wherever it led, keeping his head down and his hands jammed into his pockets. There was no rush. Alira had said that the next sub-bracket challenge was going to start whether Raya awoke from her coma or not. He had plenty of time to stew over the dumb question Raya had just asked him.
Raya's a class act, Carmaz thought, ignoring a katabans merchant who was hawking what looked like oddly-shaped shoes, though he didn't stop to look at them. Just want to know the details, huh? For royalty, she sure doesn't act royal.
