Sitting by the campfire, Lin was roasting a rabbit alongside Aran, and the two were discussing the day's fight:
"Ha-ha-ha! That was really interesting. I never thought there was someone my age in this world who's also skilled in martial arts... Lin, you're a very interesting person, you know that? For someone like you to have close ties with Silia, to know swordsmanship and martial arts that well — it's unnatural. If you don't come from a big family, then you're either a mistake… or have an interesting past," Aran smiled faintly and looked at Lin with great curiosity, waiting for his reply.
Lin nodded and slightly raised his head with pride, replying:
"I'm aware of all that, no need to praise me so highly."
Aran's smile froze. He slowly closed and reopened his eyes, changing his gaze. He nodded at Lin and snapped his fingers in his direction.
"Looks like we've gone back to the beginning... As you say, "Mister who dislikes cannibalism for some reason."
Lin frowned.
