Thanks to the impostor Zero's persistence on making it to the Midlands as soon as possible, they were actually making very good time.
Or so they were.
Zero started to become annoyed with Kai's now constant need to take breaks as he would always cite some excuse such as Grimm needing time to rest, or he saw a weird energy trail in a different direction, or most recently they needed to stop and come up with a strategy before the Midlands.
"Zero. Hey, are you listening?" They had found a seemingly abandoned cottage at the bottom of a hill in the midst of a grassy knoll. Kai sat across the table from Zero in the small one room structure. The latter appeared bored of the conversation while he propped his chin up with his hand.
"It's hard not to." Zero muttered in response.
"What was that?"
Here we go! Thanks to Kai's purposeful slowing down, Zero was able to catch up in time!
