Javier saw the confusion and surprise in her eyes. He looked away. Alliana looked at him like he scammed her.
"I respect you pushing out strangers from your life. Can't you just accept and turn a blind eye on this?"
He doesn't want them to fight in the middle of their way to the night market.
Alliana bit her lips. "...No."
She felt that she needs to get to the bottom of this. She stopped and faced Javier.
"Why can't you bring me?"
Javier sighed. The woman won't let this matter go.
"Because...this is an important mission for me. I don't need companions."
That's not true.
Javier knew deep inside that he also wanted to brag about his discoveries and share the food he liked with someone.
If he did not experience the joy of having a companion while touring the food street today, he should be fine and could say this truth hundred percent.
