Mirel and Bakar wanted to ask Leandra what her reason was for asking them to recount their past once again, but Master Tobias appeared right before they could ask. He came out of nowhere, appearing from around the corner like a ghost.
Both of them were the ones who noticed first.
Leandra hadn't noticed Master Tobias.
She was facing the other direction, so she couldn't see Master Tobias appearing from the corner.
And when Mirel tugged her hand and gestured for her to look behind her, she froze.
Not out of shock, but something deeper, more profound.
Instinctively, she turned away, unwilling to make eye contact.
On the other hand, Mirel and Bakar rubbed their eyes, making sure they weren't only seeing things.
"It's really Master Tobias. I'm not only seeing things."
