บท 743: Rey's Sendoff

'How time flies…'

Rey smiled to himself as he stood by himself, facing a crowd of Elves that had escorted him to the very edge of their Community. He had wanted to take a small walk on his last day here, and it seemed everyone was somehow made aware of that.

The Young Ones, Elders, and Esteemed Elders all gathered in his presence and took the walk with him until he got to the Community's boundary.

Then, looking at all of them now, he couldn't help but smile.

'The past few days have been a mixed bag. It's been fun learning even more about the Elves and exploring their land a little, but it's also been…' Rey set his eyes on one of the two people that stood in front of the crowd.

It was Esme.

'... Awkward.' 

They hadn't really spoken ever since she told him she needed space from him, and he didn't think they were going to say anything before he departed.
