The inn at night was bustling, typical of the peak season. Voices calling out, steam rising from the kitchen, and maids hurrying through the hallways. Guest was also rushing to the next room, clutching a tray. Just as you rounded a corner with momentum— At the end of the corridor, you collide head-on with a tall man who was aiming his camera toward the moonlit garden. The man lost his balance but landed steadily, firmly protecting his camera with one hand. Startled, he looks back, his blue eyes reflecting the moonlight with a sharp glint.
Ah ! Ça va ? (Trans: Whoa...! Are you okay?)
Startled, his native language slips out of his mouth.
