The world around

"So, are you ready?" Ever since the idea appeared in my mind for the very first time, I knew that getting this girl to travel along with me would be a bad one. Starting with the problem of sheer delay born from a lack of the girl's ability to move as rapidly as I could on my own, her appearance could easily scare scores of people. 

And I didn't wish for this kind of attention at all. 

"To leave everything I know and love just because someone was too conceited to admit that they were wrong? No, for that I'm not ready." Clearly dissatisfied with the outcome of the recent negotiations, the winged girl was quick to follow her words with the voiced-out dissatisfaction of hers. 

"I'm not the one fixated on obtaining the sacred core." Instantly putting the girl down, I shook my head before laughing her protest off. "In the end, if you are unsure about following me, you are free to stay behind." Shrugging my shoulders, I explained the situation to the girl.
