"No way am I staying down here".
Isla looks excited to see sunshine after so long.
"How long have you been down here"?
"Not long, two months".
I nod, it has been nearly a whole season since the Meru, her time dilation wasn't bad at all.
"Did you go to sleep"?
She shakes her lazy eyed head, and smiles wearily.
"At the edge, like when we ran from those apos that threw poop at night".
I roll my eyes.
"That was annoying, want to go to sleep"?
Isla shrugs while chewing on food.
"We'll see what happens".
"I don't know how things have changed, I still might be facing the inquisition".
Isla doesn't seem so worried about it.
"I think, the association thinks you are a demon".
She sounds amused by the thought, like I am something much worse.
We continue to climb the stairs.
As I smoke, Isla catches it and plays with the thick substance before her mana dissipates.
