Aria nodded, her expression somber. "Yes... But it took everything he had. He's lucky to be alive."
The two girls moved closer, their concern for Adrian evident in their eyes. Well, he saved their lives after all.
Irithel knelt beside Aria, her hand reaching out to touch Adrian's shoulder gently. "We'll keep watch," she whispered. "You should rest too, Aria."
Aria shook her head, her eyes never leaving Adrian's face. "I'm fine," she replied softly. "I will stay with him."
"..." Irithel wanted to say something as she opened and closed her mouth a few times. "Alright. Then we will go and tell the others and return soon."
"Ok. Don't forget to put that monster's body into your storage rings." Aria shortly replied as Irithel and Rhea left.
About half an hour later, the girls returned, with all the others, from their teammates to the herbalists they needed to rescue.
