It took some time for Rin to talk things through with Shelly but she finally agreed to untie him.
The piece of cloth had not been tight but it still left marks on his leg. Those marks were easy to hide with his pants. But his neck, on the other hand…
"How far up do these marks go? Even a turtleneck won't be able to hide them. Maybe I should get Reina to heal them after all."
Not that Rin was going to wear a turtleneck in the middle of summer. And he did not want to give Reina more work. These marks were not dangerous so he left them as they were after bandaging them.
Shelly waited on his bed (she had followed Rin to his room) and she looked at his bandages. There was a hint of displeasure in her eyes, but it was gone the next moment and Shelly smiled at him.
"Rin, what are we going to do today? Are we going to fight more? Or, are we training?"
Her excitement was nice to see. Especially after seeing how nervous she had been the whole morning. As for her question…
