"Tritan..."
Tritan smiled as Elyna frowned, clearly not wanting to let him go. Elyna tried to hold him back by holding the edge of his clothes. Although his relationship with Elyna was not perfect, the bond between them seemed to make Elyna aware that there was danger approaching Tritan.
In a normal situation, Tritan would never ignore Elyna's wishes. But this time was different. There was something Tritan needed to do, and he couldn't put it off any longer.
"I have to go back, Elyna. I'll come often, I promise."
Tritan rubbed Elyna's head fondly. He smiled in satisfaction when Elyna seemed to enjoy his touch while closing her eyes. Her pink lips were still slightly pursed. But at least she was no longer frowning like before.
