Elijah Smith leaned against the door railing, a pair of dark eyes staring at Ella Adams' face for a long time, then stepped forward, handed the documents in his hand to Ella Adams, and said, "Is it this one?"
Ella Adams placed the water cup in her hand on the table, then took the documents, tore open the bag, flipped through it, and finally spoke to Elijah Smith, "Yes, thank you."
In fact, since their reunion, they have only spoken face-to-face twice; once was when they were dining on local cuisine in Arandalle, where she said "Hello" to him, a mere formality in official terms. This time, it was a real conversation, even if it was only a few words, but it was no longer in the identity of a stranger and with a cold attitude.
This subtle change left Elijah Smith at a loss for what to say next, and he just stood there, staring at Ella Adams.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly turned somewhat stagnant.
