Afterwards

I nodded and spoke. "You're welcome." Then I stood up and extended my hand towards her. I helped her get up after holding her hand.

Then I held out the sword, which was still beside me, towards her. "Here is the sword you lent me. It's a really good sword."

She smiled happily and spoke as she retrieved the sword and stuffed it back into its holster. "Thank you."

I nodded, though I didn't understand why she was thanking me. I spoke afterwards. "So what are you going to do now if you're still injured I can escort you to the capital."

Lilian shook her head and spoke. "Thank you, but there is no need. I was attacked while carrying the materials that I had mined and collected at the mine. I will pack my things and continue to the capital."

I nodded and spoke. "Okay, but at least let me help you pack your things. After all, you're still not in a good shape."

Lilian smiled and spoke. "Okay, Aiden. Thank you." I smiled and didn't say anything.
