Chapitre 232: The most wonderful view usually bestowed from afar

"Oh!" 

After I was done with the morning breathing exercise at dawn--earlier than usual--I ran to Natha downstairs, who was preparing my morning drink in the pantry. Surprisingly, Ignis was there too, eating some red rocks--fire mana stones--that Natha gave the Salamander for breakfast. 

"Nat, Ignis--look at me!" I yelled at them, stopped at the entrance of the pantry, and stretched out my arms.

They looked at me confusedly at first, but instantly, they understood what I wanted them to do. Natha put my glass down and I saw their eyes gleaming slightly as they scanned me. 

"You're healed," Ignis was the first one to comment, and doing it in this dry, nonchalant voice like 'what's the big deal, ugh'. 

But it was fine, because Natha grasped my face and kissed me in response. I could feel his smile through the kiss, and I couldn't help but giggle after.
