Cedric's POV.
——
Actually, I was awake when I suddenly felt Aika laying on my chest.
I was a bit surprised because it was strange to see her act like this. It was even stranger that she didn't mind when I wrapped my arms tight around her and drew her into a cuddle.
I thought she'd get uncomfortable. There was a time when she wouldn't even let me stroke her head in her raven form; she'd usually bite my finger or warn me to keep my hands to myself. But now, she was actually leaning into me.
Well, I couldn't complain… cough, cough.
I liked this side of her, and wished it could stay this way.

Fortunately for the group, the night passed without any attacks, and as early as dawn, the party set off to continue on to the Saurian Outskirts.
