As Julius approached the campfire, Arun quickly ran towards him, finally escaping Asha's never-ending conversations, and dragged him inside his carriage.
"Good night, Asha, it's getting late!" He told her before closing and locking the door.
"Julius, please, I beg you, don't leave me alone with her again. You have no idea how much I suffer when she talks nonstop about business opportunities and economy. All I want is to focus on alchemy. I don't care about those boring subjects!" Arun pleaded, his frustration evident in his tone.
For as long as he could remember, Asha had always been obsessed with those topics and forced him to listen to them. He suspected she liked them so much that she could even sell him as long as the deal was profitable enough.
After considering this thought, he paled a little, realizing it might be true.
"Hahaha, sorry. I was busy investigating the djinn's attack." Julius said, laughing at his friend's over-acting.
