Sunset shone on Calina with a forlorn back; her fingers tapping on the hilt of her sword with hesitation.
Upon a closer look, Mel spotted another iron sword nearbyl its steel cracked during the Monster Outbreak.
"Calina!" Mel approached her with light steps.
Calina's gaze snapped sideways, then sighed at Mel's mischievous smile.
"In case you're wondering," Calina squinted behind Mel as Lila, Rosana, and, for some reason, Selaria now approached them like a magnet drawn.
"I don't know any company this time."
"Oh, relax."
Mel shrugged off Calina's groan and strode to her left side, kneeling where the woman's sword swayed at her hip.
With a frown, the Witchhunter shifted to draw an arm's distance between them.
Mel pouted at the gesture. "Hate me that much?"
"No-no." Calina stammered, hesitation flickering in her face. "I just need to be alone for a while."
Her lips pursed in silence before continuing. "I distinctly sensed it, something that... scared me somewhat."
