"It's nothing."
Thankfully, even amidst the confusion, Coco still managed to stick to her initial response to their question.
"Anyway, I'm taking Zaque with me." Coco was quick to stir the topic of the conversation to another direction as she resumed her meal, "Make sure to pack some clothes— or not, I could just buy you new ones."
Zaque and Quizen felt a feeling of unease wash over them as Coco shifted the topic of the conversation, but they didn't probe further.
Something about her tone, the look in her eyes, and the way she avoided the topic made them hesitant to delve deeper into the issue— something that made them shiver in their spot.
So, despite the desire to understand, they refrained from asking more questions, not wanting to provoke her further.
"No, thank you. It's fine." Zaque politely declined Coco's offer of buying him new clothes in the main city, "I want you to focus more on getting your hunter license than buying me things that I won't need."
