Having left the insides of the Academy, Aeric and Celestia were now at the Academy grounds.
For a while now, Celestia had been thinking of a way to bring up what had happened in the Dungeon, but Aeric was doing his best to dodge all of her advances with perfectly timed topic changers.
However, it seemed everywhere they were, there was at least a pair of eyes from one of the Daughters, staring at him.
This was recreation time and Aeric wanted to spend it in a way that earned him XP, but all he kept being reminded of was what happened in the Dungeon.
Deciding to try the weapon challenge, perhaps he could choose a weapon from there to craft, he and Celestia headed for that section on the grounds.
They had barely made it five steps though before Aryanne's voice cut through the air like a whip.
"Well, well, look who's still pretending to be the quiet little nobody," she sneered, her words dripping with mockery.
