Chapter 148: In the depths
Irwin looked at Scintilla, feeling bad for her. She had moved the others up, but now she sat in the corner, vomiting loudly.
"Let's go," Numilli whispered excitedly.
Irwin let out a weary sigh, staring at the other Ignitzion. "Perhaps we should give Scintilla a few moments?"
"But we were in a rush, right?" she said, turning to her cousin. "Can't she just… do that as we walk?"
Scintilla looked up while wiping her mouth with the back of her hand, glaring at Numilli.
"I'm fine," she grunted, getting up.
As she staggered, Irwin lunged and grabbed her around the waist, keeping her standing. Scintilla looked at him with a smile.
"Thank-"
Irwin saw her gaze land on the white ichor and blood covering his arms, and he barely managed to direct her to the side as she managed to vomit out an impressive amount of food for someone who'd been doing the same thing for a minute already.
"Sorry," he said.
Scintilla just shook her head, wiping her mouth. "It's okay, I'm alright now."
She shivered, and Irwin grimaced, slowly guiding her deeper through the wyrm-dug tunnel. Numilli was walking ahead, constantly looking back, while Greldo took up the rear.
