Chapter 30: [ Respite ]
Alexander’s apartment was a 30 minute bus-ride away from the Adventurer’s Guild, which they instead walked.
Fae was seemingly unbothered by his world and its technology. Cars drove past them, yet not even getting a single glance from her.
She couldn’t keep her eyes of his as they walked, as if they were the light at the end of a dark tunnel she was stuck in. As if blinking would turn off the light forever.
Alexander described what he saw, his voice low and tired from the day they had.
Anything technological he explained to the best of his ability, from the elevator ride they used to leave the Adventurer’s Guild, to how the motors allowed for the cars to move.
He didn’t fully understand everything himself, but knew a little about everything which went a long way for someone who’d never seen any of those things before.
It wasn’t only the technology, but anything his eyes fell upon on the way over.
"Is this even interesting?"
She nodded promptly.
"You just want to hear my voice, don’t you?"
She nodded again, causing him to sigh in surrender.
