Coraline’s Motive

Teasing the awkward boy was fun... 

Coraline put her fingers on her eyelids to force them open. 

It didn't help. 

It was getting more and more difficult to keep awake... 

"Hey, Coraline?" Lone tilted his head up, staring at the ceiling. "Question."

Coraline yawned... then rubbed her eyes with the back of her wrists, "Mhmmm?"

"You said you left your last guild..."

"Pff..." Coraline puffed her cheeks out, "Yeah. I'm better off without 'em~" 

Lone looked to her with a strangely serious expression, "So why didn't you accept Mister Ramon's invitation to join his?"

"It... it was really nice of him to do that..." Coraline pulled in her knees and rested her chin atop her forearms... "and I do want to join another adventuring guild, eventually."
