Adam made his way to his room after separating from Abigail and her group. They would all be meeting again soon anyway, so there was no need for extended conversations.
Lingering would only have made things awkward.
Their parting was casual and the only real interaction was Abigail handing him a small container of herbal ointment for his injuries before turning away.
Adam accepted it with a nod, and they went their separate ways without another word.
Once inside his room, Adam locked the door behind him and finally allowed himself to relax.
The first thing he did was remove Battle Ready. He had been wearing the damaged armament the entire time, and now that he was alone, he could properly inspect it.
The sight made his heart ache.
Cracks ran along the surface, while parts of the structure were warped and scorched; however, the most glaring damage was the hole in the chest plate.
Adam had paid good money for the armament, and yet it hadn't even lasted a full day.
