A Brief Reprieve

Eva woke up in the middle of the day from the looks of the sky. She rubbed her eyes and realized she was in Lucas' lap as he was sleeping. His healing mana thrummed around her as if he had fallen asleep healing her. It felt comforting, so she basked in his embrace a bit more before observing their surroundings.

When she glanced up, she noticed Lee was sitting next to the fire and Leyla was curled up in a bedroll near it. Lee gave her a slight smile and offered her some jerky and dried fruit. She moved to get closer to the fire, but Lucas' grip tightened around her. She sighed and tried not to get any crumbs on him.

A heavy exhaustion lingered over her and getting up was just way too much energy at the moment. Lee had taken off his armor and was using a rag to clean it. "Did something happen while I was sleeping?" She asked him.
