Auren, of course, knew that Asenya was trying to create something. She had explained to him about the trap that Aven had set for her.
The moment she entered the Night Temple, she could never leave unless someone else was there.
So her only escape from the accursed tower hinged on either Aven Noctis himself awakening, or another stranger walking in. What surprised Auren was that she hadn't even considered bolting out the moment he entered, not even when she shoved him into the well.
If anything, she seemed desperate for him to leave at first, and after her explanation, Auren could piece together why.
Asenya was, at her core, a good person, though her appearance suggested otherwise.
But all her goodness meant nothing now, because she'd gone ahead and resurrected the very being who probably wanted Auren dead more than anyone else in the entire world.
'Well, perhaps the second-most.'
