Chapter 16: Lifeless Forest

Izak is standing in the lobby by the door, waiting for Saffron who told him that she will be there within a few minutes. Izak's patience was slowly running out since he never learned how long a woman takes to get ready.

"Where is she...?" he murmurs, looking at the stairs constantly.

Soon, off the stairs comes Saffron, in clean clothes and her equipment. She looked at Izak and said, "Come on! Let's go!" as she made her way past the doorway.

Izak was annoyed but knew her well, he let his anger go and went outside, closing the door behind him. They both walked towards the training ground first. Everyone will be meeting there before heading out.

On their way, Izak asked, "Tell me something... why are you like this?" despite knowing her well, he asked to confirm his sentence.

"What do you mean?" She replied, mentioning her past, she responded, "I can only behave like this in times like these!" and started to walk faster.
