The next day, early in the morning, a dense fog surrounded them like a wintry morning, though it was not.
Aria opened her eyes and saw Aengus by the window, gazing outside.
He had stood guard the whole night, making Aria feel bad, but it had been his insistence, and she couldn't refuse.
During the night, they had encountered a few snakes and bird monsters, but Aengus dealt with them easily, not even letting Aria know they were being attacked.
She got up, rubbing her eyes to clear her mind. Smiling, she tiptoed towards him sneakily...
She hugged him from behind, burying her face against his back.
"Ah, Aria, you're awake," Aengus said, acting surprised. He had already noticed her sneaky tricks, but he let her do as she wished.
"You have already noticed, haven't you?" Aria sulked slightly, fluttering her pretty eyebrows as she moved away from his back.
"No." Aengus replied, shrugging.
