Eros tested the weapon a few more times and realised it was now much sharper and more durable. If the weapon had been this powerful back in the cave, he wouldn't have been in such a bad state.
After a few minutes, he went back into the house. Rally wanted to strike up a conversation. But Eros was hardly in the mood for any of that.
He spent the remainder of the day reading a few books to pass the time.
Soon enough, the sun disappeared from the sky. Not long after, a soft knock was heard on the door.
Opening it, he found Elaine's exhausted frame outside.
Without even saying a word, she fell into his embrace, letting out a sigh of relief.
Eros caught her, then carried her to the room.
When they both settled down on the bed, Eros asked, "How was your day?"
"Hectic," she muttered, her voice muffled by his clothes.
"How so?"
"They assigned me to another mission."
Eros raised a brow. "So fast?"
