Nathan sputtered, his voice catching in his throat.
"I-I… want to go get… the Kralven tree trunks… and… yeah, the other stuff…"
His sentence drifted off, eyes darting left and right, as if searching for a place to hide from everyone's gaze.
Domina didn't ask much.
"I'll come too," she said lightly, her eyes narrowing playfully. "It's not fair if only Velmora gets to go."
As if her name had been called, Velmora suddenly appeared from behind, her face flushed red.
"R-right… Nathan… Nathan should… Nathan should do it… with all of us together…"
Her voice trembled, the tip of her tail wriggling softly behind her.
Nathan blinked rapidly.
Wait… wasn't she kind of jealous earlier? Now she wants others to join too? Or… is it just me being delusional…?
Cold sweat trickled slowly down his temple.
In the end, he just nodded, too tired to argue with the absurd logic around him.
"O-okay…" he muttered softly.
Validia smiled warmly, then slowly stood up.
