Boring experiments (Julia)

I wake up alone and, surprisingly, not tied to the bed. I don't know where Leo found the confidence to leave me free.

He was so afraid that I would leave that he did threaten me a couple of times. Not that I have any intention.

If leaving means dragging him in my world, it's better to stay in Fortress and face whatever consequences.

«And I was settled on surviving,» I sigh.

I was so tired that I slept till late.

Leo comes back by the time I've changed clothes and prepared some food for my rumbling stomach.

«Good, you're up,» he comments.

I just nod, still slumberish.

«Do you want to go hiking?»

«What?» I mumble. «Isn't that what you do on mountains?» There aren't mountains around.

«It's not as adventurous, but technically... You don't need mountains to hike,» Leo notes.
