Chapter 776
“Morning Mora, it’s me,” Ben said as he knocked on the door, letting himself in after a moment and finding the boy sitting like he had been the day before, a few more of the books and games he’d been given having at least been touched in the past few hours.
“Good morning.”
“So, I didn’t bring it up yesterday but me and Delair are going to be joining you and Thera today, but before that, since we’ll be the only ones up for a while, is there anything you’d want to do?”
“It’s fine,” He shrugged, seeming like he was going to end there but surprising Ben as he went on. “You don’t need to keep getting up for me. I know mortals need their rest.”
“Ah well, I probably need less than most people and honestly, I’m not the biggest sleeper either.”
“Why?”
“Ha, to be honest, I’m not a fan of dreaming, even when I rest I just force my mind up to be with my god instead so spending time with you is a fine alternative. Plus, my stamina is high enough that even a few days without it won’t kill me so you don’t need to worry about it and instead let’s focus on what we’re going to do while we wait for everyone else to get up. We did some sculpting yesterday, what do you say we try some drawing today?”
He materialized a couple blank books as he said it, along with some pencils and handed a few over, watching as the spirit with him looked on in confusion while he started, explaining as he went.
“Now, obviously if you want I can talk to you about technique and what you can practice on to bring your imagination into reality for it but I’m willing to bet you’ve never drawn before, right?”
