Chapitre 51: Obsessions

The morning light filtered into the hotel lobby, giving it a warm, soft glow. Eliza stood in the middle of the hallway, arms crossed, her gaze fixed on Rowan.

She was frustrated, her patience wearing thin as Rowan sighed for the third time.

"I'm telling you, Rowan, I should go alone to look for Eratz. You stay here and train Kenny, help him with his hunting, be a good mentor for God's sake!"

Rowan looked at her, equally annoyed.

"And I'm telling you, Eliza, if I let you go on your own, you won't do it. You'll wander off neglect the task the same way you're neglecting him." He waved his hand dismissively, shaking his head.

"I can't trust you with this task."
