"Howard, shall we go out and have some fun?" Vivia asked, her voice laced with a hint of boredom.
"Go out?" Howard paused for a moment, noticing the slightly listless expression on Vivia's face.
"Where do you want to go? Rodel isn't exactly bustling with activity."
"Let's just wander outside the city," Vivia suggested, her eyes sparkling with mischief as she looked at Howard.
"The wilds outside might be teeming with beasts, but with you by my side, it promises to be far more interesting than anything the city has to offer."
Howard shook his head resolutely.
"Impossible. I won't take you out there."
"Then, I suppose I'll have to settle for a lesser adventure and just wander around the city," Vivia suddenly said with a sly grin, her demeanor resembling that of a fox who had successfully pulled off a trick.
Howard, who had been looking at himself in the mirror, was momentarily taken aback before a smile broke across his face.
