Dal Shabet

- I've never been here before, but something feels wrong. Everything looks very suspicious. Where are the people? Why is there no one around? Maybe we should stick together. - Tarvitz said to Belanor.

- Of course, something is not right. That's why we're going to inspect the city, and to do that before nightfall, we'll do it in groups.

It's strange that Belanor didn't send me on a scouting mission with the others, just like Ilaria and Maria.

He didn't want to burden his group with us. A cripple, a girl without her two-handed weapon, and Maria and Ilaria just don't look like they'd be very helpful on a dangerous mission, as in the end, they might cause more harm than good. Well, at least from one person's perspective.

You might expect all sorts of reactions from a girl like Ilaria to such a story, but not such a calm one. She listened silently to Amos's story and accepted the medallion without any extra emotion. Perhaps in the last few years, she had time to consider all the options, and therefore, the truth didn't surprise her. Or maybe she simply became colder as a person during that time.
The captain, as before, lay on the soft sand, basking in the sun.
