A Moment to Ponder

"The thought of continuing never even crossed my mind." With his eyes briefly widening in response to Zeik's suggestion, Valyr adorned a wry smile as he responded. "Well, it did at first while I was waiting for you."

  "As long as you understand my intentions." In response to the young man's answer, Zeik let out a faint chuckle. "After all, it wouldn't be great if you were trying to increase your combat experience while death was lurking in every corner. Plus, even if you did want to continue, you'd be forced to leave the Akashic Battlefield either way, considering my somewhat precarious state."

"I mean… you did consume almost half of the health potions I bought. Even with that, you're still considered to be in a precarious state?" Raising one of his eyebrows, Valyr looked at the man with a knowing smile.
