"Alisia, you are very kind,"
Zeph remarked, his voice soft and appreciative as he looked towards Alisia with a smile.
"Guess I should leave now,"
Alisia calmly regarded him upon hearing his words before standing and making her way out, noticing a girl approaching in the distance before glancing at Zeph for the last time, "I hope you will fulfill your promise, Zeph."
Zeph, looking towards her, nodded as he turned his gaze in a particular direction and observed a caramel-haired girl heading in his direction. 'She could have waited'
Looking at Thalia approaching him, he couldn't help but think about the affection she showed towards him until now, though he couldn't shake the feeling that her feelings might be tied to the fact that he had saved her.
But for him, it was complicated. Even if Thalia showed such alignment towards him, he couldn't just reciprocate her feelings.
