V3 9 - Part E:

We went back after we had gathered enough firewood.

As we arrived, we saw Aeris gazing at the ocean.

I couldn’t tell what kind of expression she’s making because of the hood is over her head but for some reason, it felt really sad.

Maybe the heat is getting to me, and it’s messing up my emotion.

As we are approaching Aeris, she seemed to notice us.

She turns towards us and greets us with a smile.

“Welcome back!”

Aeris looks better than she was earlier but her face is still a bit flushed.

“Sorry to keep you waiting.”

I responded.

After that, I place the firewood that I’m carrying on the ground.

Ace did as well.

After we settle the firewood down, Ace arranges the firewood in a cone like structure and place some stones around it.

After she was done arranging, she ask me a favor.

“Can you light that up? I’m not so good in using heat synthesis.”

“Yeah! Sure!”

I said and vibrate the molecules of the firewood.
