"Ever since you, my lady, started writhing and pulling your hair like the mentally unstable person you are."
"Hey, from the very beginning—why didn't you say anything?"
I mean, I was doing that while I was thinking about Evangelin and Aeloria. Elena was basically right behind me the whole time.
Or rather, she was hiding on purpose, because I was pacing back and forth the whole time.
Obviously I would've seen her if she'd just been standing behind me; I think she was hiding in my shadow.
She doesn't have the Shadow Assimilation skill, but she can do something similar with some dark magic spells she was able to start using when she reached the sixth metamorphosis.
She did the same thing that night before we set out on the expedition, and come to think of it, she's been leaving there a lot lately.
Which really makes me wonder how much time she actually spends there.
Now I can't be sure if I was alone when I thought I was alone.
