Spoken Contract, Part 5

Jane followed Lee Seng while Eli floated along with her. She occasionally glanced at Eli, wondering if he would wake up. The black triangle had slowly melted into his skin, disappearing and Jane couldn't help but wonder about Lee Seng. She wondered if he was really Biohuman. He had said he was before he became a Fox Spirit, and she didn't know much of the huge city hours away.

Jane picked up pace and matched Lee Seng. Eli's unconscious body floated and stayed between Jane and Lee Seng. She kept her eyes to the front and strapped her axe. She didn't feel the need to use it. This wasn't one of those situations even if James felt a bit threatened by Lee Seng's behavior.

"Thank you for offering to carry Eli." Jane said. Lee Seng simply nodded and continued to quietly walk. She allowed some time to pass before checking behind her. Kiara and James weren't too far away. James was using his spear as a walking stick.
