With the words, Ning requested a bond, and Saphandra didn't hesitate to accept.
She wanted his companionship and a way out of the solitary life of a spirit.
A summoning circle appeared below Ning and the two were bonded.
"Great," he said. "Should we leave now?"
Saphandra nodded, but then she looked at Aimee that was still sulking on the ground.
"We should help her," she said.
"Of course," Ning said. He walked up to Aimee and sat in front of her while Saphandra came to sit on his shoulder.
"Aimee, do you want to talk?" she asked.
"Let me cry in peace, please," she said.
Ning stayed quiet and decided to do nothing but stay there. Aimee sniffled for a long while.
The sky even turned dark in the time she was there doing nothing but crying.
"Aimee, you can't keep sulking like this. You are the last of your people. If anything, you need to step up and move on, for everyone's sake," Ning said.
