Chapter 202: Where Did the Devourers Come From?
Elmo wasn't sure of what to make of getting called into a meeting this late in the day. The evening announcement had been given with no new information being revealed, so it wasn't like there would be a reason from that for the meeting.
He didn't complain about the meeting because it wasn't lke he had anything better to do. Especially with how they'd been waiting there for so long without anything else to do.
However, it wasn't like Jonas or Kim to call a meeting when they didn't have a reason, nor had they had a meeting since the one where Jonas had included Kim's army. Which was weird enough for Elmo.
Still, he couldn't deny that he was hoping that something would be revealed in this meeting that would help give him something useful to do. Sitting around these past couple days hadn't exactly been easy for him.
Much like his grandparents had found out when they 'retired,' having nothing to do in a day to occupy yourself wasn't easy. Not only did it get old fast, but it also gave him an itch that he couldn't quite scratch, leaving him wandering around, increasingly desperate to find something that he could do.
Technically, while he could train his spells more, he wasn't sure how long they'd be on the road or if something might occur where he needed to be at full strength. While he could take his chances, he didn't like feeling dependent on others if he could help it.
When he arrived at the meeting, he wasn't surprised to see everyone already there, nor was he surprised to see Elin sitting on Kim's lap, both occasionally kissing the other.
"Good to see you here, Elmo," Jonas greeted as he quickly sat on the ground, not sure what to expect.
"Wasn't like I had plans for the night," Elmo replied, kicking himself for his response the moment the words came out of his mouth.
"Well, when Kim and Elin are done with their, uh, oral examinations of the other, we can get started," Jonas said, his face flushing slightly as he made his statement.
"You're just jealous that you don't get to kiss her," Kim retorted after another kiss from Elin, though, Elin didn't get off of Kim's lap.
