章 67: Classic Jenny

"Very," Hobe admitted, his stomach audibly growling.

"To the point where you could eat me?" Jenny teased, a playful glint in her eyes.

"Perhaps," Hobe replied, a hint of amusement in his voice.

"Great. Come with me," Jenny said, signaling a shift from playful banter to genuine hospitality.

"Wait. But all that must be expensive. My points are in the negatives," Hobe interjected, concerned about the cost.

"I don't mind. We're friends now, Hobe," Jenny reassured, emphasizing the newfound camaraderie between them.

Hobe gazed at Jenny with suspicion, his mind processing the unexpected offer. "But..."

"Do you not want to? Well, if that's the case—"

"I do," Hobe interrupted, overcoming his initial doubt. Rising from the park bench, he nodded.

His momentary hesitation wasn't rooted in a lack of desire but rather in awe of being offered such generosity by a distinguished Slayer Knight like Jenny.
