After that, the line went silent and Albedo took a seat, relaxing as he looked out at the ocean and thought about what Seraphyne said.
"…Mostly." That one word lingered in his mind more than anything else she had said.
Seraphyne had meant to hide it. Bury it beneath confidence, beneath that effortless elegance she always carried like armor, but he had heard it.
Albedo exhaled slowly, closing his eyes for a moment as he thought about what to do. His fingers tightened slightly around his phone before he finally lowered it to his side.
"…She'll handle it."
He said it quietly, deciding to enjoy his time here and continue his adventure, because if he allowed himself to spiral into that thought, into the idea of rushing back blindly, he would, and that would defeat the entire point.
Besides, he'd rescued Seraphyne and taken her precisely for situations like this, so he just needed to have faith that she'll handle anything that would happen.
