Discourage

While Alex was off doing all that was needed of him, Pearl had nothing to do. He simply sat around the house, waiting for time to pass. It was the 2nd day of their stay here and would soon be the 3rd night.

Once Alex had gathered all that he needed, he would be ready to leave, to go to one of the big cities. Maybe his life would be slightly better at that point.

Momo knocked on his door at some point and he looked toward her. "Come in," Pearl said. "Are you bored too?"

"Yes," Momo said. "How did you know?"

Pearl shrugged. "I was bored as well," he said.

"Do Immortals feel bored too?" she asked, a surprised look on her face.

"Of course," Pearl said. "Especially when they have nothing to do. I could be practicing my spear, but I have nobody to train against, and this place is a little too weak for me to train properly."

"Are you that strong?" Momo asked, her eyes wide.
