The noise wasn't too close to them but also not too far. Nana instantly retracted her wings and scooted closer to Lia. Who was it at this time, scurrying around in a hidden place like this?
Lia had a bad feeling, was someone following them? Could Timo have found out and sent someone to keep tabs on them? But at the same time, if it was someone scouting, they wouldn't be so careless, no?
Lia held her finger to her mouth and Nana nodded. Silence overtook the place and only the wind rustling the leaves could be heard.
Yet there were other sounds carried to them faintly but distinct. Lia turned to Nana and whispered, "Go, we'll talk about it later."
Lia still found it concerning that Timo was talented enough to raise Nana's level in such a short time. There was also this other undesired feeling crawling up Lia.
It was jealousy. Lia had to admit she was slightly jealous of Timo and his skills.
