He couldn’t drop the act until they were closer to the Tower.Īs she continued to babble about the beauty of the universe, he sent out a pulse of mana-a tiny one, not enough for her to notice, but enough to keep monsters away. Her single-minded optimism about their ill-guided mission would drive him crazy. “I’m glad I didn’t do anything to hurt it, even if it means Sylvarant has to suffer a little longer.” “Tethe’alla is such a wonderful place,” she said, eyes half closed. It wouldn’t prevent her from tripping, but at least he’d have enough time to catch her before she broke something. “You sound just like Lloyd.”ĭespite the urgency, he set off again at a slower pace. Mithos had a feeling she’d apologize as she plummeted off a cliff to her doom. He looked her over anxiously to make sure she remained undamaged. The mountain path made the most sense, due to the short distance, but at this rate she wouldn’t make it to Derris-Kharlan in one piece. He’d-Ĭolette slipped and pitched sideways off a steep rock face. Well, if his sister was clumsy, he would guard her every step to make sure she never fell. Yes, it was probably a flaw in the physical composition of the body itself. She stumbled again as he reached her, though she windmilled her arms and kept her footing. He quickened his pace to reclaim the lead before she took them too far from their goal. She probably fell so often she was used to it. She smiled and started off again as though nothing happened.

She didn’t suspect anything? It didn’t even occur to her that a half-elf isolating her when she had enemies among half-elves might be risky? Times like this made him question what Cruxis’s marriage program had done to the Chosens’ intelligence. Either Iselia was the safest place in the world, or it was a miracle she’d lived long enough for the Journey of Regeneration. Not that he wanted her to make things difficult, but they didn’t know each other well enough for her to follow him out into the mountains alone at night without complaint. Her obliviousness was actually a little annoying. A few steps at a time, he gradually guided their progress until they were heading toward the distant Tower of Salvation. He started off in one direction, then turned as if at random. She beamed, eyes bright as if they were on some great adventure. He glanced over his shoulder as Colette joined him.
