"Don't worry, she isn't going to harm us," Orion said, calming Nadia down.
The mysterious water woman had only acted aggressively after Aerialia had warned him to leave, so he could only deduce that she was trying to block their escape route. Fortunately, Orion had no intention of fleeing or getting violent with her, so he stayed put.
Seeing his calm demeanour, Aerialia frowned but then exhaled, realizing Orion had already decided.
After a brief hesitation, Nadia nodded. Although she was still sceptical, especially considering the massive body of water surrounding them and threatening to submerge them at any moment, she trusted Orion's words.
"What is she looking at?" Nadia asked, her previously troubled expression shifting into a frown.
The mysterious water woman's expression was complicated. Her gaze was fixed on the empty space beside Orion, and Nadia could sense something was off.
