Bab 343: Short-distance

Khan ended up spending the whole night with Monica snoring in his bed. He obviously gave up on sleeping to opt for a long meditative session alternated by mental exercises and quick inspections at the Orlats on the sidewalk.

The Orlats never went to sleep either, but Khan didn't know if it had taken short naps while he was busy training. Still, that behavior convinced Khan to mention the issue to his companions once the morning arrived.

Khan had to use the menus on the walls to keep track of the passage of time. The environment outside the window couldn't tell him how long he spent in the meditative state, and he was kind enough not to use alarms to let Monica rest properly.

A faint tremor ran through the synthetic mana in the room and pulled out Khan from his meditative state. He opened his eyes in time to hear a weak groan coming from his bed. Monica had awakened.
