Adora felt relieved after hearing what Nina said because she knew Yan wanted to know if she was happy or not, and now that he knew, he was relieved as well.
"I'm glad you're finally happy, Nina," Adora said, and Nina sighed, relieved.
"Nina," Adora said, only to discover that the girl had fallen asleep, and she repositioned Nina on the bed and covered her with a blanket.
"It's fine, Nina, sleep," she said, looking at the girl, then frowning, not knowing if they would all return from this, but she had made the decision to protect them, as had Alix.
Adora then left her room and went to the ship's kitchen, where she collected a bottle of orange juice from the refrigerator, poured herself a glass, sat on a chair, and drank it.
"Can I join you?" Zack asked as he walked into the kitchen, and she looked at him.
"Sure, want some orange juice as well?" she asked, and he nodded. He sat with her, and she poured him a glass, which he accepted.
"Thank you, Adora," he said.
"You're welcome," she replied.
"It goes without saying, but this ship is amazing," he said, and she chuckled.
"Yes, it is, thanks to the workers," she replied and he smiled then sipped his juice and she glanced at him.
"What if nothing is wrong with him?" Zack wondered.
"Vellon huh? Well, I'll have to deal with it, and if there's something wrong with him and he keeps getting in the way, things won't go well either way, are you okay with this?" she asked, and he sighed.
"I am, I don't want to lose a friend, but we have to protect those who have nothing to do with this, one way or the other, whether he is himself or not, of course, we will try to help if he is not himself, but if he still doesn't give in then that's it," he responded and she lowered her head then nodded, knowing how much Zack cared for Vellon too but this time everything is different and they knew what had to be done.
"For now, Zack, enjoy the flight and relax, let your worries go, it will be better for you if you don't worry too much, it will get to your head and you will get more confused, that is not good but I think you already know that let it go for this trip, for now at least," she said, and he sighed.
"You're right, I'll relax a little, what happens next is out of our hands, I know that," he replied, and she nodded.
"You know, I'm going to give credit where it's due and for what it's worth, he was a good friend, he even cared about you a lot, I know you two used to fight a lot, but when you weren't around, he praised you, when I do realize it, a few days before his attack, he was a bit gloomy and didn't talk to me much, he kept telling me to be careful and kept saying weird things, what exactly did I miss back then? What made him betray us?" He lowered his head when she asked.
"I cared for him just as much, whatever it is Adora, we will figure it out, it may be too late, but the truth is always best even if it is harsh, that's your words," he replied, and she chuckled then looked at him.
"Very true words," she said to which he smiled.
"They are, what prompted Vellon to betray us? That's not going to be easy to figure out," he added.
"I'm not sure, and it can't be to protect his family, because it's only his father, and he's not interested in the rest of his family, he considers them crap, literally, we'll meet him again, we'll find out, let's leave this here for today," she replied, and he nodded.
"Come with us on the deck, it's nice up there," he said, and she sighed before getting up and went with him to the others.
"I thought you were going to get some rest," Ifrit said when he saw Adora and she smiled.
"Well you can say I changed my mind," she replied and he scoffed.
"Of course, you did, had trouble sleeping?" he asked when he noticed she was staring at Alix, who was talking to Ayden while looking at the clouds and birds that were passing by.
"Oh, Adora, she's lost in her thoughts; what should I do to bring you back down to earth?" he asked as his eyes glowed orange and his index finger began to glow, forming a flame ring above it, and he placed it in front of her due to which she flinched and smiled when she saw it.
"I'm sorry," she apologized.
ραпdα nᴏνɐ| сom "It's fine, I completely understand," he replied, her eyes narrowing as she stared at the flaming ring.
"That's nice; I'd like to do that as well," Aerav said as he approached Ifrit and he smiled.
"It's lovely, Ifrit," Adora said.
"Aerav, since you use fire, I can teach you a few tricks," Ifrit said.
"Really?" Aerav inquired, and Ifrit nodded while Adora smiled.
"That would be fantastic, thank you very much," Aerav said.
"You're welcome," Ifrit replied, before the ring of flame vanished and he turned to face Adora.
"What?" he inquired.
"I just like what I'm seeing, and you like them, so I'm glad," she replied, and he smiled and patted her on the shoulder.
"It's all because of you, I don't care about dying now, you know that right?" he asked, and she gave him a sidelong glance.
"But haven't you found reasons to live longer?" Alix asked as he approached them, Ifrit's eyes widened, and he looked at Alix before lowering his head as Adora looked at the two of them.
"If you have Ifrit, it won't be easy dying anymore; you'll want to stay to see more," Alix added, and Ifrit sighed, knowing he was right but couldn't say it out loud because the future was uncertain and he didn't know if they'd all make it out alive.
