Chapter 392: Kim and Elin part 1
Kim couldn't say that she was in a good mood, but it certainly wasn't a bad one. She got her memories back, when she hadn't been aware she'd lost any, but that still didn't take away the fact that she'd been violated through having her memories stolen somehow.
Still, while she was confident that Jonas had something to do with it, she hoped that Elin was at least part of it, as then she could feel like she wasn't as indebted to Jonas as she'd otherwise be. With Elin, she'd happily owe her life to, just not with Jonas. No matter what.
They were sitting near Sonya, who seemed to be sleeping peacefully, though she couldn't be sure since she hadn't actually seen Sonya sleep as a dragon as of yet. Though, Heather was spending her time caring for her, part of which was just her sitting by Sonya's head, hugging it.
Bart had left to hunt some boar, since he wanted to increase their food supply and he seemed bored just sitting around, though it had been his idea to go hunting. Kim had briefly considered joining him, like Owen and Elwin had, but decided against it. She doubted he'd find much before it got dark, yet she couldn't think of a reason to try and talk him out of it.
Patricia and Patrick had yet to catch up with them, which Kim couldn't say she was surprised about. She suspected that they'd be a while yet. That Patrick was likely walking slower because of whatever it was that Patricia did to him. Although, since he was a man, she felt rather little pity for him. He did deserve whatever happened to him because he was a man to begin with.
A twig snapping pulled Kim out of her thoughts as she looked in the direction the sound came from. She wasn't surprised to find Elin and Jonas approaching, with Elin having stepped on the twig, but she was happy to see Elin. Yet, the look Elin gave her a look like she didn't even notice her. Like Kim wasn't even there.
Kim sighed as she glanced at Jonas who merely shrugged. She had a feeling that whatever had been sparking conflict between them wasn't over like she had hoped it was. Despite having forgotten about it for a while when she'd somehow lost her memories of Elin. She wasn't sure when that was, just that Elin's existence was part of the memories she'd lost at some point.
Elin walked over to sit with her back against Sonya, in-between her front and back legs, when she just sat, staring into the fire that Bart had gotten set up before he left hunting.
Kim had a feeling that not dealing with whatever was going on between her and Elin wasn't going to solve it, like she had hoped it would. So she walked over to sit next to Elin, making sure that there wasn't any physical contact between them. She had a feeling it would not only send the wrong message but that Elin would relocate if that happened.
