-Who could that be, barging in like that? Open the door, darling? -Deliy lay sprawled on the couch, his arms behind his head.
-Of course, dear. -Katavina sang, heading towards the door.
-Oh, it's you, what was your name again, uhhh...
-Relkhiras. -The Visterian introduced himself again, entering the room and tilting his head to avoid hitting the low doorframe.
-What's the News? Or did you just come to chat, heh-heh?
-The Leader is holding a meeting. He's waiting for everyone. -Relkhiras announced briefly.
-Well, I knew it. You never just drop by without a reason. -The Celian smirked.
-Good day to all! Well, finally, a new job, right? -Deliy beamed. -Excellent, I was already getting bored. Where are we headed, you say? Wow, Heckelia? And I've been there before! And are we working with the Solar again? Well, of course, we are, there aren't many decent clans there anyway. Although, believe me, based on my experience, you need to be careful in those lands! What, who are they allied with now?..
-Hey, Fang, guess what, we're going back to Heckelia! -Deliy told the large, black-furred wolf, throwing him a piece of raw meat. -Good boy! You've gotten quite fat, living a peaceful life. -Gently patting him on the back of the neck, the Celian turned towards the Eyhorn, who was leaning against the wall of the barn. -I see something is bothering you, isn't it?
-I... I don't want to go back to those lands. -Kataviana whispered quietly.
-I understand, darling. Not the best memories. -Deliy agreed. -Especially considering the Solar's current alliance with the Blood.
-And besides, all these adventures aren't for me. Why can't we go back to a peaceful life?
-Because that life is driving me crazy. -The Celian hugged his beloved and kissed her on the cheek. -Listen, I'm not forcing you to follow me. If you want, I'll escort you home and leave you some money to live on.
-No way! -Kataviana shook her head. -I won't leave you again! I'll follow you to the ends of the earth.
-That's more like it! Look on the bright side! Keep your chin up, I feel like everything will be alright. Look, they gave me this. -Deliy held up some kind of potion. -They said it significantly improves your well-being and gives you determination. Here, drink it. You'll need strength for the journey.
