Outside of the academy.
Before heading back, Nerissa led them to a bakery she had once visited.
A small detour to ease her sudden cravings and escape, if only briefly, from the heavy atmosphere that lingered after that painful night. The shop offered a wide array of cakes, each one a chance for them to indulge and forget about what happened for a moment.
"When exactly did you visit this bakery?" Leandra asked, looking at the modest shop before her.
Since it was still early in the night, there were some people inside.
It wasn't crowded, but not empty either.
"Back when we visited the night market and I strayed. I ate here alone. Fortunately, Lucivar decided to accompany me, or else it's going to be very lonely," Nerissa answered with a beaming smile, then made an excited gesture with her hand, motioning them to enter. "Come on—I'll recommend you some good cakes!"kjlk
Leandra and Ravenna could only smile at her enthusiasm and entered inside.
