"How are your injuries, Ogoro?" Aito asked, hinting at the arm that had yet to fully heal.
"The healing process is going well," Ogoro replied, "but complete recovery will still take an hour."
"Hum, that won't do," Aito said. "We will need to escape as soon as possible."
"Why?" Ogoro asked, "We could stay here and recover—"
"He's right." Sheyla interrupted. "If we stay here, it could spell trouble for us later. They will gather reinforcement. What's more, we do not have the resources to wait out for too long either. The sooner we try to escape, the higher our chances of success. However, taking into account our current situation, Aito is the only one who stands a real chance of getting out of here alive."
Aito blinked a few times, thinking he had misheard something, wondering if she had truly used his name just now. He wanted to tease her with it, but it wasn't time for jokes.
