I’m free, kind off?

I couldn't help but chuckle.

"Hey don't laugh!" The poor guy picked himself up but melted a second later. "On second thought, keep on smiling. I really like that smile." Dick flashed a lady killer smile at me. What the heck was wrong with this kid?

Jowy cleared his throat.

The demon with Dick pulled the kid away from me in an instant and apologized on his behalf. Were demons really capable of something like this?

"Hey! Hey, what are you doing?" Dick cried.

I looked at Jowy with blunt eyes. "Care to explain?" I didn't bow. Didn't feel like it. 

Jowy didn't seem to mind. "We thought it'd be best if you went with them since you don't want elves escorting you."

I wanted to travel alone for a while. Dragging others into my journey always ended up in tragedy. 

"I have no objections!" Dick screamed. 

No one asked you!
