Following Leisurely

Dominique was wandering around different towns, a little lost. He had brought One around with him all over the Awerk continent, looking at different sceneries and places, but for some reason, he felt a little listless as of late.

It was a strange feeling.

He'd never felt like this before.

Not even when…

Dominique crushed the thought before it finished forming.

One, on the other hand, felt nothing like that as she clung onto his neck, looking around.

Despite himself, a small feeling of affection had bloomed in him for One. A tiny, smidgen of affection.

Maybe because she looked like a mix of both his Boss and Elysia, whom he was reluctantly coming to accept.

Yet, there was a feeling like he was adrift out at sea, as if he had lost motivation in life.

The strong admiration and worship he had for boss was still there, but it was slightly muted, as if he had lost something.
