"So, you are leaving tomorrow?" Aqualina asked, her eyes trembling as the thought of leaving Aether alone with the Elven woman gnawed at her heart.
The anxiety was almost unbearable; What could that Elven bitch could to do him?
Aether paused in his task, his gentle smile spreading across his face, "Yes, I am," he replied softly.
"..."
Aqualina stared blankly at Aether, her heart heavy with sadness, "I will be so lonely," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.
Aether stopped what he was doing and turned his full attention to Aqualina. He knew he needed to maintain a dense act about her feelings to keep things simple. With an awkward smile, he said, "I promise to buy you a souvenir. Something special, just for you."
