"Ugh… I think I'm starting to get the hang of it… See~? I told you I'm a fast learner," she cheered with glee, now able to walk with a stick as support.
"Good for you then," Eliot replied without so much as glancing at her.
"Wait, you didn't even look."
"...," He said nothing, just kept walking forward.
"Tch," With a click of her tongue, she forced herself to move faster and positioned herself in front of him. "Ugh," she groaned in exaggerated 'pain' from the sudden movement.
"Don't waste your time. It won't work on me," he admonished, then continued on his way without stopping.
"What? You won't even console me?" she asked with a frown.
"You have access to mana, don't you?"
"I do," she replied.
"Then you can fend for yourself. The way I see it, you're stronger than I am."
Seeing he wasn't stopping, she dropped the act and followed after him.
"Stop walking so fast! You… person," she held back at the last moment, biting down the insult.
