New Friends

"Elijah."

Elijah and Sofia had just left Griffin's room and were about to return to the dormitory when Sofia suddenly stopped walking and then called Elijah to stop walking like her. Elijah did exactly what Sofia wanted. The man stopped walking, then turned to Sofia to focus his attention on the girl.

"Miss Embla you were talking about earlier... she's the elf who brought you to Floating Island from Nala City, right?"

"Yes. Don't you know her name all this time?"

Sofia shook her head in response to Elijah's question. There were many opportunities for Sofia to ask the name of the elf who had helped them so much in the previous mission. But Sofia felt that Embla would not like it if she asked. That's why Sofia didn't know Embla's name until Elijah said it himself.

Elijah saw the grim expression Sofia showed after hearing her answer, then tried to rack his brains to make the girl feel better again.
