"So... what's been decided?" Ruby asked as she stepped into the tent where the two sat.
She had just received confirmation—her uncle was on his way and would arrive at the site in a few hours to begin his inspection.
An ancient relic that even top Runesmiths couldn't begin to decipher? Naturally, it had caught his attention. But Ruby already knew… even he would struggle to make sense of what was written inside that cube.
The trio sat comfortably inside the tent, sipping coffee that Adrian had brewed—he never traveled without his portable boiler and gear.
"Hm?" Adrian looked up. "What do you mean?"
Ruby tilted her head slightly toward Annabelle. "You reunited with her after so long… so are you two, like... going to live together now?"
Annabelle nodded at once, while Adrian shook his head.
"Ehhh?!" Annabelle cried, eyes wide.
