Leon stepped out of the sleek, high-tech capsule, and the room's lights instantly brightened as if welcoming him back to reality. A soft, mechanical hiss came from the capsule next to his, signaling Freya's arrival. He moved closer and extended a steady hand to help her out. She took his hand with a trusting smile, her fingers wrapping warmly around his.
Leon kept his grin as he watched Freya steady herself outside the capsule.
"What's with that smile on your face? Are you that excited to go hunting with a pretty archer like me?" she teased.
"If that's what makes you happy, then sure, let's run with it," Leon replied.
As he made his way to the exit, Freya gave him a gentle nudge, urging him to move faster. She hurried to the living room and flopped onto the couch next to Lily, who was relaxing with a glass of fruit juice and watching television.
