The brief stop at the lake was about to end soon. All three of them were at a distance from each other. Cressida was crouched at the lake beside Onyx, looking at him drinking water. Vidarr was walking to and fro at a little distance. Leserli sat on a stone near the bushes. The bushes behind her ruffled and produced a scattering sound. She quickly turned around to look at the source of the sound. She then quietly stood up, pushed the bushes aside, and walked through them.
"I told you not to show up," Leserli said in a low voice.
"Your time's up." The person in front of her said.
"I told you I need more time," Leserli said in a little raised voice.
"How much?" The person questioned.
"More," Leserli said, she cannot specify a certain amount of time. What if she gives a particular time and things won't work out during that time period.
"More, how much?" The person asked again.
