“Daniela…I did tell you to wake me, but I don’t remember asking you to carry me…”
“Hehehe. You were in such a deep sleep. I could not bear to wake you up. Besides, it was my fault for oversleeping. I did it as an act of repentance. However, you are quite heavy.”
I tap her on the shoulder to make her stop walking. There is a loud ringing of metal as my feet land on the ground. So she had equipped me with my weapons. That must have been tiresome.
“Uh, thank you.”
“It is fine. Do not worry about it.”
She says with a smile.
I look up at the sky and check the position of the sun. It was near the halfway point between the highest point and the horizon. That meant that I slept for two to three hours. Then I look at our surroundings. It is still nothing but grass. I fix the positioning of my sword and then we are ready to move on.
“Kept you waiting.”
“Are you trying to sound impressive with that voice?”
Yes, this is one line that you have to say in a deep voice.
Now, it was time to continue the journey. There was a gentle breeze as we walked in the plains, side-by-side. It seemed that the warm sunlight that shone down on us was a promise of a pleasant journey.
