บท 305: Chapter 304: Determination

Jahi PoV

Anput and I spent the day sparring with Nirinia and Mom, and we both were experiencing innumerable phantom aches and pains as we made our way back to the main Palace, where we would be given rooms to rest until tomorrow.

I noticed that Nirinia still had a lot on her mind, and the Djinn had become a more somber, quiet version of herself, even going so far as to drop the flourish she usually fought with, much to Mom's annoyance.

We had been given a show of Mom toying with Nirinia to draw her back out of her shell, but the woman was firmly entrenched inside her mind for the moment, though she still managed to show flashes of her former, flamboyant self.

When we went back inside for dinner, we sadly were on our own as Leone was still with her family, but that just gave Anput and I some time alone.

We made sure to eat quickly and retire early, before I called on my fluffy Jackalkin to warm my bed, much to her delight.
