When he had lifted his head to look at the pitch black sky, the moon had disappeared, engulfed by the clouds that were gray and dense. Cassius was used to the darkness, but usually, he wasn't accompanied by a clumsy human girl who kept falling behind on her steps. She was more sluggish than usual, her hands rubbing to her knees that was a little scratched.
Arabella, who had seen him walking too fast, spoke up, "Where did you go earlier?"
"Somewhere, you aren't usually curious," he answered her and she furrowed her eyebrows.
"What do you mean? I am always curious," she then brushed his words, running to walk side by side, "Was it about this town? I don't know why but ever since we entered, I have this feeling as if we are being watched, don't you agree?
Cassius turned behind him, narrowing his eyes as he tilted his head slightly while watching over her, "Do you always get this talkative the more you're scared?"
