Because the opportunity was rare, his hands were still involuntarily shaking with excitement and exhilaration even after he was seated in the mech.
*
On the seventh day in the Blackwood Forest.
Desolation decided to enter the mist with Hannah and the rest.
Gregory Lawrence had rested for a night and was back to his talkative self.
He was no longer bothering Hannah and Arnold Simmons but began pestering Desolation instead.
Barraging him with all kinds of questions.
"How old are you this year? Where are you from? Did you come to Blackwood Forest to hunt for treasure? Did you come alone? Is this your first time here?"
Desolation maintained his silence, only responding with, "Shut up," when he was annoyed beyond tolerance.
His voice cold and particularly hoarse.
Anyone else would have taken the hint and left, but Gregory Lawrence was different.
He was shameless.
He wasn't bothered by being disliked; he feared being without someone to talk to.
