No Time to Rest

The rhythmic clatter of the train wheels accompanied our journey to Blackmore Mansion. I was seated with Marius, Julius, Milly, and Aisha. The air was lively, but as always, Marius couldn't help but crack joke after joke.

"Haha! And then the goblin said—" Marius burst into laughter at his own punchline.

I chuckled politely, though his humor didn't quite resonate with me. Beside him, Milly was laughing just as loudly, seemingly enjoying his jokes far more than I did.

"You two seem to be on the same wavelength," I remarked with a grin, glancing at Milly.

Meanwhile, Aisha, ever the calm presence, tried to soothe Milly as she clutched her sides from laughing too hard. Julius, on the other hand, looked like he was still acclimating to the group's dynamic, offering a small, hesitant smile.
