Northern stood aloof for a couple of seconds. He was taken adrift by the question, given his state. He just naturally froze with no answer.
Then he blinked and stuttered to life with a few words.
"Ah, ah, I'm, I'm fine. Don't worry. I just need to do something."
Raven tilted her head.
"You forgot something?"
"No."
"Then... what could you possibly need to do around here? Has it even been a month since you came out of the rift?"
Northern jerked back his head with a slight frown.
"I don't like what you are insinuating. What are you getting at?"
She sighed and shook her head with a slight shrugging of her hands.
"Nothing, it's fine, North. What do you need to do?"
He turned his head to the side and muttered.
"Re-relief..."
"Huh?" Raven at first did not hear, which caused her to almost lean her head towards him.
Northern responded sharply with a flustered look on his face.
