A good way to pass time
Previously when Rigel's flames removed the corruption from her arms and legs Sarina wasn't able to "feel" the refreshing sensation that Kana talked about when she played with the flames before, due to the numbing effect of corruption.
But now that Aster was treating her neck which was near the only part of her body that wasn't affected by the black fluid, she understood why Kana liked to play with the flames, it was a new kind of sensation, like when a strong gust of wind touched your body but a bit denser than that.
A couple of seconds later Aster dispelled the flames and Sarina's neck was free from corruption, she smiled feeling the uncomfortable stiffness that has been tormenting the nerves on her neck fade away.
She moved her head a couple of times to get rid of any leftover numbness.
"Thanks… can I directly call you Aster?".
Aster nodded; formalities were not his thing anyway.
Sarina smiled.
