"It's good that mortals have courage," Malin squinted, wondering about a problem—this guy, he surely wouldn't be fond of everything associated with someone, right?
Well, he probably wouldn't. This kind of straight-as-an-arrow man would always have that forever unattainable figure in his heart, even unto death.
Put nicely, this is love.
Put unkindly, this is stupidity.
As he thought this, Malin noticed that clouds were beginning to form in the sky... Ah, was it going to rain, or perhaps it was snow that was coming.
The girls, noticing the weather change, hastened their pace.
"Right, what about Rewo."
"Come play at our house," Maya and Matilda said in unison.
Malin was silent for a moment, then feeling the rain, he raised his umbrella and opened it, and the girls immediately gathered around.
Then after a while, the rain turned to snow, and then to sleet. Feeling the drop in temperature, Malin noticed something coiled around Mana's branches.
He took it discreetly.
