Encounter with Blondes

The two of them flirted a lot before deciding to head home, hand in hand. At the same time, Althea wanted to train a few more times now that her mana had recovered.

They decided to run back home. Garan was naturally fast, while Althea made up for it by using the Earth Spring. She wanted it to be so instinctive that she didn't have to thinking about using it when she had to. 

After some time, they reached about a few kilometers or so to the territory and Althea was getting a bit tired. "Shall I carry you?" Garan asked, very naturally.

She pinched his cheeks and shook her head. Garan wasn't too disappointed though, as they would still be walking holding hands. 

It would be like a stroll they took during their dates—the occassional mob or bugs irregardless.
