Adventure is the romance of a fantasy world

"Everything's ready?" Natha asked me once again, and once again, I went through a mental note listing all of my luggage.

The most important thing, the inter-realm communication orb, was safe inside my storage ring, so all is well. I nodded and Natha stroked my head once before stepping back.

Huh...

I looked at him while blinking; form in attention. I was ready for another dose of nagging like he did before I went to the Human Realm, but surprisingly, Natha said nothing.

Which made me more confused than relieved.

"What?" he asked.

"You're not going to nag me?"

He raised his brow and looked at me wordlessly for a few seconds before chuckling. "Nah," he pinched my cheek lightly. "Those druids are even stricter than me--especially regarding your well-being."

Oh...he was right about that.
