"Did they do anything to you, Oliver?" Aria asked as she and Oliver ran side by side toward their target location. Among the three points, their destination was the farthest from the city.
"Nah, it's nothing Lady Aria. I don't really mind." Oliver answered casually.
"You can just call me Aria. You only need to address me formally like that in public." Aria said.
Aria glanced at Oliver and could not help blushing slightly after noticing how handsome he had become. He looked completely different from the younger boy she had met five years ago.
'He looks much more mature now... both physically and mentally.' she thought while smiling softly.
"Hmm? Is something wrong?" Oliver asked after noticing Aria staring at him.
"Oh, no no! Nothing at all." Aria quickly avoided eye contact.
"By the way, I heard about what happened in your town. If we had known sooner, we would've immediately come to help. I'm sorry for your loss." Aria said sincerely.
Oliver remained silent for a moment.
