"I did too, came to find you as soon as I landed."
Really? You must be kidding me!
"Mm, you're so sweet."
Chris didn't argue, she calmly accepted the lie and asked about Wayne's recent experiences. Learning about his hardships and narrow escapes from death, she nearly teared up.
"It's okay, here I am back in one piece."
Wayne held Chris's hand, fingers interlaced, forehead to forehead, he said, "I've got some good news, I became a Legendary Mage..."
Wayne recounted his recent adventures, cutting out the mundane parts and only keeping the exciting, speaking only of what sounded good and exaggerating his crises to depict the world outside Lundan as Mortal Hell.
Everywhere devils, everywhere warmongers, he's apparently the only good person in the whole world.
Chris was amused and laughed, their eyes meeting, both breathing a bit faster.
...
Huh, who's singing?
