Chapter 260: Short notice
Narios calmly walked next to the towering smith, taking the occasional glance. For a young man, he had a rather intimidating aura around him, and right now, he seemed deep in thought. He'd barely said a word as he returned from the Dean's office.
When they walked out of the academy and toward the merchant district, he decided it might be prudent to ask. If Irwin wasn't in his right mind, it would be better not to see Rosetta.
"So… did everything go alright?" he asked, looking at Irwin.
"Huh? Yeah… just a lot on my mind!"
"If you want to, we can see Rosetta tomorrow..." Narios said slowly.
The obvious hesitation on Irwin's face told him enough, and Narios forced himself to smile. As much as he preferred it to be otherwise, he was a teacher.
"It's alright! Just go and take care of the things you need to do, and we can go see her tomorrow!"
Irwin looked at him, the volcanic red eyes swirling and hard to read, and Narios barely repressed a shudder. It was one of the reasons he never took body improvement cards. So many had these gruesome physical changes forced upon their wielder.
"Alright, thank you. I do want to see her, but I want to attempt something first. Depending on how it goes…"
Narios smirked as he saw Irwin's eyes drift off. He'd noticed that, as soon as Irwin got an idea, he seemed fully focused on that.
"I'll come and find you tomorrow after your reforging class," Narios said. "Do you need me to stay… or?"
"No, it's fine! Thanks, and I'll see you tomorrow!"
