Permission To Evolve, Sir?

Northern stared fiercely at both of them.

"What?" His tone rang out with heavy arrogance, almost resounding through the hollowness of the imposing grove.

"Nothing. I'm impressed."

"Don't be! The only reason why I am on this journey with you is to take that airship and fly home. I don't care whatever you intend to do, whether it is to save the world or destroy it."

Raven smiled a little and erased it, "Fair enough."

She turned around, "Then... let's go."

"No, no, no, I'm not going to have that."

Raven turned back around, "What this time?"

'What this time? What the fuck is she smoking?!'

Northern inhaled deeply and exhaled, then he said:

"Look, we are on this mission as partners. I know you are giving me some prizes, but I believe we are here because you need my help, isn't that right?"

Raven lingered, then nodded.

"Yes, you are right."
