"... I think it's about time you said it, even if you can see it already..."
Gaius said as he walked through the depressed woods, looking narrowly ahead.
Then Deanna responded with a pleasantly light voice.
"Right. It's been about an hour, so it seems like it would be nice to have a view."
"Oh, talking about the guy I just asked, that meant this forest was ahead of me when it ran out..."
"Yeah, but you don't even have to hurry, do you? You have plenty of time, don't you?
"Sort of. Even so, until about tomorrow night."
"Tomorrow night...... what do you have? Is that a job?"
Gaius looked up and thought a little.
"I'm not working..."
"Huh. Something suspicious?
"No, no, no, no, you're not suspicious. I just need to run a little errand."
"It's an errand... what the hell is it for?
"It's no big deal. I'll just meet up with people. I'm not free after tomorrow night. How about Deanna, who says so? How suspicious is it to have a woman like you sightseeing alone?
Then Deanna laughed all the time.
"Really? I don't think that's weird at all, though?
"No, I'm not saying anything different. I just... thought it was unusual."
