The team wandered through the forest again, with Rosetta taking the lead as their navigator. She had a knack for keeping the atmosphere light, acting as if nothing awkward had happened between them.
Lucien's parents seemed at ease, while Seren was noticeably annoyed with Rosetta's presence.
Though slightly disappointed by their reaction, Lucien was more relieved that it wasn't awkward. He noticed how Rosetta tried hard to get close to Lithira and Brigantiea, who still didn't warm to her.
"So, Lithira. You know most of the terrain in this forest. Have you ever encountered this monster before?" Rosetta asked, showing Lithira the book.
Lithira turned her head slightly, her eyes darting between Lucien and Brigantiea, who walked behind them.
Seeing that neither of them minded her interacting with Rosetta, she didn't have a choice but to keep engaging with her even when she didn't want to.
