Ryu blinked, but Seraphina's face still didn't disappear from his sight. She was lying next to him with thin a rag as bedding on the ground. She had a sweet smile on her lips, and she seemed to be dreaming in her sleep as she mumbled incoherent words.

Ryu rubbed his eyes and looked over at the tent and noticed through the fabric that it was still dark outside and eerily quiet.

"No. .. tehehehe. .. you brute. . ."

Ryu looked at the saliva hanging from Seraphina's mouth before he shook his head as she giggled in her sleep.

What was she dreaming about? Ryu wondered. He was glad that no awkwardness lingered between the two of them after what happened. Maybe because she was also aware that what they have wouldn't last?

Shaking those thoughts away, Ryu got up, making so little noise as he could. He briefly went to Seraphina's tent to get some carpet and rags to drape over her when something caught his sight. He was sure that he saw one of the rocks move from the corner near the pool of water.

Deciding to check it out, Ryu went in that direction only to be stopped when his ears perked the sound of Seraphina's moan.

Ryu sniffed the air in that direction, and when he smelled nothing out of place, he shot one final glance at the rock before he went inside Seraphina's hut.

Near the pool of water, Canaan released a big silent breath. He was almost spotted. A good thing he bathed himself with the smell of the desert and hid his scent and appearance with the use of a concealment spell.

"That halfbreed almost spotted us," Abby whispered, and she almost wet her skirt. "That was close." She sighed with teary eyes.

"Shh. .. not so loud. The others might hear and wake up. Don't forget that though most are halfbreeds, they still have kin senses." Canaan then signaled with his hands to move forward with careful steps. "Let get this done and over with."

The halfbreeds agreed, and they resumed to dispel the stones guarding the water one at a time, being careful not to create so much noise.

Usually, there should be a guard roving the vicinity at this hour, but since the halfbreeds took up most of those miscellaneous jobs, no one was watching the camp that night.

Inside Ryu's tent, Seraphina was still soundly sleeping with a smile on her face.

Ryu carefully draped the carpet around her before he laid beside her. With the dessert wind and the murmurs of Seraphina's mouth as the only symphony percolated inside the tent, Ryu's mind drifted to Ferris and Cecily.

He couldn't help but think of what had happened to them. He didn't care about the mission of acquiring rune stones as long as he was together with Cecily. But right now, Ferris dominated his mind.

Seraphina next to him was reminding him of her when he and Ferris were mostly sleeping together. Ryu closed his eyes. If he concentrated and imagined the little girl, he could smell the burn of her skin and see the many flakes from her head fall off to her face. It was an ugly sight, but he missed it nonetheless.

He missed her mischievous smile and her sharp mouth. They had been together for a short time, but it felt like he had known her since young. Maybe because she was the one who taught him there was about the world? She was the one who saved and protected him in every dangerous situation.

Though it was Cecily who saved him from the coliseum, it was Ferris who brought life to his existence.

"What are you thinking about?"

Ryu's eyes shot opened and flickered to Seraphina, who was now awake. Since when did she wake up?

"Did I wake you?" 

Seraphina shook her head. "No. The sound of your heart beating woke me. It was beating more than necessary, and I thought that something happened."

".. ." There it was again. Ryu really thought that Seraphina was a half-beast from how she sometimes acted and said words no mortal would say.

Instead of inquiring the question that Ryu knew she wouldn't answer truthfully, he said instead, "Go back to sleep. It's still dark outside."

"Mmm. .. I will after you tell me what's bothering you."

".. ."

"Is it Kai and Jane?" Seraphina asked when Ryu didn't answer.

".. . A little."

"I'm sure they're fine. Both of them are Rank-A mercs, and Jane could easily pass the sleeping Leviathan with her wind spell."

A wrinkle then appeared in the middle of Seraphina's forehead. ".. . I'm more worried about Jane's reaction once she finds out Theodore is dead."

That too. Ryu pressed his lips tight. Jane must really be devastated. Vein's lethargic face then came to his mind, and he wanted to punch something.

Seraphina laid on her back and looked over the ceiling. "Well. .. I'm sure that Marcus will help her cope."

".. ." It must have been nice to rely on someone at your weakest moment. In Ryu's case, it was Ferris. But Ferris was not here, and Marcus was a dimension away from Jane.

He could only hope that Kai was doing a great job at comforting Jane. 

".. ." A sudden burst of worry flooded Ryu's heart. At Jane's vulnerable state, Kai wouldn't. .. or at least Ryu hoped that he wouldn't.

"Are you also thinking about your mate and Ferris?"

".. . Yeah."

"Hmm. .. which one?"

Ryu didn't understand Seraphina's question, and he briefly shot her a look. "What do you mean?"

Seraphina went to her side and looked at Ryu with her round liquid pool of ocean eyes. "Which one are you thinking more?"
