Her voice held no irritation, it seemed more like she was... teasing.
Arnold Simmons's gaze flickered slightly, catching a glimpse of a bright, beautiful face in his peripheral vision; he whispered softly, "Hmm."
She laughed again, gently tapping on the palm of his hand, "Arnold, how are you still so adorable?"
A tingling sensation spread from the center of his palm.
Arnold instinctively tightened his grip, just in time to catch that mischievous little hand.
A soft, warm touch.
"Do you really need to go to the Blackwood Forest?"
The conversation shifted back.
Hannah frowned slightly, then relaxed, looking down at the ground with a quiet, "Hmm."
"The Blackwood Forest is very dangerous now."
"I know."
But even if it was dangerous, she had to go.
If she couldn't even get through the Blackwood Forest, there was no way she could reach the Lost Realm.
Moreover, she had the ability to protect herself.
