Gray continued walking, his hands resting comfortably behind his head.
Behind him, Scarlett and Elira followed, although their conversation had taken a rather different direction.
"So," Elira began, glancing at Scarlett with a mischievous smile, "have you decided what you'll ask Gray for as your reward?"
Scarlett looked at her.
"What does that have to do with you?"
"Nothing. I'm simply curious. After all, he promised us anything. I wouldn't want you to waste such a wonderful opportunity."
"I haven't thought about it."
"Really? Not even once?"
"Elira..."
"Perhaps you'll ask him to accompany you to dinner? Or spend an afternoon together? Oh, how about asking him to stay at your residence for another month?"
Scarlett's cheeks gained a faint shade of red.
"Why would I ask for something so unnecessary?"
"Then I suppose I'll ask for those things instead~~" Elira giggled.
"Don't you dare."
"Why? You said you weren't interested!"
