Chapter 113: Care for most?

Ezra finally woke up. He looked around but could barely see anything, though he was sure that his head was on something soft.

He used shadow sense to check it out. He was inside a cave with the others, and it was already night.

His head was on Lucy's lap; she had slept in that pose. Ezra was amazed that she would do something like that for him.

Sure, he was her master, but he had made it perfectly clear that unless an order comes from him, she didn't have to do anything at all, even if he got killed.

Still, she was here caring for him without an order, sitting in a clearly inconvenient position. As he thought about it, his heart ached a bit, just like it did when he saw her wounded, but not as painfully.

"Sigh, why do I feel this way? I hate this feeling, yet I don't want to stop feeling it," Ezra said. He got up from her, then slowly and carefully laid her down. There was a cloth underneath them, so he kept her lying there.
