"I see..." Andrei finally realized what was happening and nodded his head.
"AGH!!!" He glanced at the Nemean Lion and jumped up in shock.
"Oh, that's the thing that almost killed us. Quite friendly when you feed it though," Alex said with a smile.
"I see..." Andrei twitched, uncertain, but Alex had spoken, so it must be true.
"Man, it's beautiful." Alex looked up, admiring the starry sky.
"But we have to leave now. I don't want the Nemean Lion waking up, and I definitely don't want to go hunting again," Alex said, glancing at Andrei.
"Ah..." Andrei smiled awkwardly, noticing that Mirko had fallen asleep.
"She's... asleep," he remarked.
"Then pick her up, brother. I've carried you for kilometers," Alex grumbled. He was exhausted, with no chance to rest.
"But..." Andrei hesitated as he moved Mirko, but she only shifted, murmuring in her sleep.
"Ughhh..." She rolled back into the same position, almost waking up.
