Chapter 304: Off Topic
Elin didn't understand the purpose of the game 'bloody knuckles' but she was confident that the way things were turning out were the way Jonas had expected them to. As she doubted that he'd expected her to have used her spells to first protect her hands from his slaps, then she used a spell to improve her agility. That way she could move faster, even if only to avoid getting hit as well.
Though, when Jonas wasn't able to keep Elin from slapping his hands, she could tell that he wasn't happy. He might have excellent eyesight, but that didn't mean he had the reaction speed to match. Which in turn meant that she was able to outpace him.
However, Elin was quickly getting bored of this. While at first it was interesting to see what it was, it wasn't anything that held her attention, nor did she see the point of the game. If anything, it felt like something new recruits to her father's guards would find interesting because of how it would show just how 'tough' they were.
When the stew started to get served, Elin immediately stopped playing that game with Jonas. She doubted that Jonas would mind much, but at the same time, she didn't care. Elin had lost interest with that game already, so he'd have to make it worth her while to either continue that game or to start another. Not that she really expected for anything that Jonas could possibly offer to make her even lightly interested.
"You're not too bad at that," Jonas said to Elin when he filled a bowl of stew for himself. "Have you played that before?"
Elin shook her head. "I didn't know what that game was before, but it wasn't that interesting."
"Maybe you just weren't hitting his hands hard enough," Kim remarked, chuckling.
Elin scowled. She didn't need Kim to say anything in support of her. It wasn't like she really cared about Elin's feelings anyway.
"It doesn't matter how hard she hit my hands, it mattered that I could get out from her striking my hands," Jonas replied.
