Nick finished the first stone after about 30 minutes.
"Make six more," the CZE commanded with an even tone. "I will be back later."
Then, she walked towards the exit.
Nick didn't say anything and just continued looking at the tiny grain of stone he had just made.
Naturally, Nick knew that the CZE had to keep up the illusion that she was a human.
However, since she didn't tell Nick exactly what she was doing, he could only guess.
Communication between them wasn't important.
Both of them were servants of Wrath, and none of them wanted to be.
If the CZE found a way to flee from Wrath without endangering her life, she would immediately do so.
While the CZE did… something, Nick continued making the stones.
In the beginning, Nick felt a bit unsure about his ability to create the stones, but he quickly got the hang of it.
