"What were you doing in the city anyway?" Elion asked.
After their brief conversation with the others, Tessa and Elion had parted from the group and moved elsewhere. As they had decided earlier, the two of them were now simply walking through the streets while talking.
A disgruntled Kiki had been convinced by Tessa to return to wherever they were staying. Aeron and Zenovia had likely returned to the Triad Alliance's base by now.
Tessa glanced around the street before answering.
"Well, you see, my family's residence is not too far from here. It is not inside the city itself, but I usually come here for basic needs and other things."
Elion raised a brow, "What do you mean it is not in the city?"
"I mean, the plot of land I call home is a large area owned by our clan," Tessa explained. "I suppose it is big enough to be called a village, but it is mostly made up of mages and warriors under my father's banner and our extended family. So yes, calling it a village seems appropriate."
