Lia, her mind elsewhere, looked up in surprise: "Ai... Aiko, what are you doing here?"
"I feared the captain might hang himself from a tree."
The cloaked figure revealed blond hair, indeed it was Aiko, looking none too pleased.
Though Aiko often mocked Lia, after three years of companionship, she had developed a certain fondness for the red-haired dwarf. Besides, Snow Goose genuinely needed that potion.
"I messed up, I didn't get the potion." Today Lia was somewhat vulnerable, not as tough-talking as usual.
