Shinon stepped out of the tent, still chuckling about the earlier misunderstanding. He looked around the base, and his eyes fell on the moat where the corpses of the undead had gathered. He walked towards the moat's edge, patting Rico's back as he passed him.
"Sorry about that, Rico. It was all a misunderstanding," he said with a smile.
"Of course it was," Rico laughed along. "I have known Kira for years, and she isn't that kind of a girl. I was just taken aback by the situation and the awkwardness around it."
"It's okay," Shinon said, still grinning. "Kira was just helping me with a scratch on my leg."
Kira, following Shinon out of the tent, blushed and looked away. "It was just a small wound, nothing to worry about. Smartass..."
"Yeah, I get it." Rico shook his head.
Shinon waved a hand dismissively. "No worries. Let's focus on the task at hand, shall we?"
