But before he left the feisty cat alone, he was curious…
Vale looked around the expansive meadow, his gaze drifting to the distant treeline that boxed them in.
"Those trees are gigantic."
They weren't exactly the largest trees Vale had ever seen, but they were easily 25 meters (~82 feet). After a moment, his attention lowered, settling back on the cat curled up on the grass.
"I thought you'd be training. Why are you here?"
Awilix yawned.
"Hello? Have you not seen this prime napping location? Do you think I'm obsessed with training or something? No, no… I'm not…"
Vale wanted to argue, to say, 'You know you're the weakest now, right?' The thought surfaced quickly, but he held his tongue just as fast. There was no point in prying open that wound, especially with her already irritated.
So instead, with nothing more to add, he turned and let her be.
As he moved away, however, he started to realize she had a point.
'This does seem like a good napping area!'
