Chapter 261: Roaring Metal
"Just like that?" Skylar asked, staring at Irwin in confusion.
Irwin sighed. He'd had worried Skylar might have taken this badly, but seeing the hurt look, he wished things had been indifferent. He'd come to see the stormy man as his friend, enjoying the other's boundless enthusiasm.
Looking around the cozy Tappestery, he wished he had more time for a proper goodbye, but he just didn't.
"Are you going to see your Igntizion girlfriend?" Pasilha asked.
Irwin focused on her, noticing Skylar tapping his finger on the table and staring at his mug.
"I wish I had the time for that, but I need to go on the mission," he said.
It didn't take him too much difficulty to look properly annoyed- because he was. He'd planned a few things the day before, one of which was a proper goodbye.
At least it's better than what Ambraz got, he suddenly thought. The memory of Ambraz roaring in anger and pain would stay with him for a long time.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to remind you of that."
Irwin looked up to see her stare at him with a look of sympathy, while Roubi looked like she was ready to cry- odd as she didn't even have tears as far as Irwin knew.
"So romantic," she whispered.
"Do you really have to leave now? Can't we just… play one song or something?" Skylar asked.
