The four of them continue on their journey through the deep grove with Nara leading the way as promised.
As they walked, it became abundantly clear that Nara had to have taken a particular interest in Rukiyo, because he stuck to her side quite closely, like a shadow— unwilling to let her out of his sight and every so often, Nara would cast glances at her from the corner of his eye, his curiosity only growing deeper with each passing moment.
Rukiyo can't help, but notice Nara's constant glances at her and his close proximity.
She completely understands that he's curious about her and her origins, so she's not saying anything to make him halt on what he's doing.
However, she also decided to just simply brush it off for the time being and kept a tight grip on Blank's hand— pulling him quietly along as they walked.
She tried to focus on her surroundings more rather than the elf at her side, but the subtle feeling of his eyes on her is impossible to ignore entirely.
