Zail tried to help the boy up but Alphius coughed a bit more and pushed the helping hand away as he kept staring at the ground in shock.
"It's a relief," Zather sighed as she shook her head, "I didn't have the heart to attend another funeral."
Alphius looked up in confusion and stared at the woman for a solid minute before he muttered, "Zather...?"
Zather tilted her head slightly as she heard this but didn't bother questioning anything even after seeing that the boy was behaving differently.
"You're really careless," Kelly clicked her tongue as she scolded and Alphius' eyes trailed towards her.
With a small frown, he asked, "Who are you?"
"..."
Kelly's cheeks turned red with embarrassment and anger as she heard this question but thankfully enough, Zather patted her shoulder with a chuckle as she calmed the woman down.
Zather, "The boy just came back from hell. Don't let him annoy you."
