Chapter 84
"I'll turn in first. Allen, you have first watch tonight, right? See you tomorrow."
"I'll get going now, too. I've got a rough idea of where the space-shifting traps are, so tomorrow should go smoothly.” Evan flashed a relaxed smile that didn't quite match his typical arrogant expression and disappeared into the tent.
'I'm surprised, he’s not acting like himself.’
Allen was dumbfounded as he smiled bitterly, thinking of how Vestla must be reacting at the moment, too.
Allen knew. He understood what she was saying.
After all, no matter how he tried to justify it to himself, he knew he couldn’t really fit in with them.
He would do anything for his brother, and nothing could measure up to that drive.
In the first place, he had only come to find a way to save Julius. What point was there in taking his ventures in a new direction now?
He shouldn’t have enjoyed it, and he shouldn’t have let himself become vulnerable.
