"Very well, However, leaving the holy place with just a crew wouldn't be wise. Perhaps you can…" she conceded, a faint sigh escaping her lips.
Alex's eagerness bubbled over. "Don't worry, Amelia. I'll be back as fast as I can! Besides, it's not like the holy place will finish building itself in a month, right?"
A hint of a smile tugged at Amelia's lips as she conceded the point. "True enough, Just be careful, Alex. The Elven Kingdom can be… unpredictable, to say the least."
Alex flashed her a reassuring salute. "Consider it done!" he declared, his gaze already flickering towards Linda. "So, Mrs. Elf, lead the way then. You're my official gate pass to the Elven Kingdom."
Linda, ever the voice of reason, let out a resigned sigh. "Right, right," she mumbled, her tone betraying a hint of amusement. Turning back to Amelia, she offered a quick farewell. "Well, we'll be back soon," she said, leaving the unspoken question of "hopefully" hanging in the air.
