Led into temptation

Seth rubbed Katy’s hair and stood up.

“Hey, I get the feeling that if I ever plan on abandoning you, you’ll hunt me down to the ends of the world anyway.”

“Get some sleep and think carefully about what you want to do. It’s not a decision one should make hastily, and we still have a lot of time until we reach the capital.”

Katy nodded and looked up at Seth through her bangs, hesitating for a moment before asking: “Won’t you stay with me?”

“Not yet. Sleep well.” Replied Seth, ignoring Katy’s downcast look and heading outside her tent.

Once out, he rested his back against a tree and asked the system. ‘Did you find out how the marking process will affect a human?’

Seth sighed and closed his eyes, resuming his cultivation. After Katy woke up and walked out of the tent, Seth destroyed all traces of them being there and continued their journey down south.
