I walked with my hands on my head. Each of my steps were elongated on purpose so that my rather short companion could keep up.
I'm totally doing this to mess with her by the way. It's hilarious.
The dwarves in the distance kept swinging their pickaxes like they were going to find something. Honestly I have no idea what their issue is, but if they're really willing to swing away non-stop like that then it must be good for something.
There is a small orb of white light that is floating at my side. This is from my spell Orb of Light which does exactly what it says. The mana cost is so low that I've already regenerated the cost in the time since I cast the spell itself. By using this light, we've been able to navigate a bit through this dark mineshaft.
"Sheesh… How long is this thing anyway?" Kany asked while she looked from side to side. I snickered at the phrasing of her sentence. She noticed that I was laughing and immediately looked away.
So you may be asking: "Why aren't they getting murderous with each other like Kenji and Erana were?" The answer is actually rather simple: Kany and Tael are very used to messing with each other and they can shut out their negative emotions easily. Kany and Tael are used to messing with each other so much that they know how to avoid making the other actually upset. It's that type of energy only someone you're very close to can match.
Catch you on the flip side!
