After giving another look at Jake, it simply picked up its weapon and began walking away.
Thud.
Thud.
Each heavy step made the ground tremble slightly beneath its feet.
Jake stared at the naga's back as it continued walking toward somewhere in the distance.
"…Where is he going?"
Aria frowned.
"Maybe he's leaving?"
Jake watched Samu'dra for a few seconds.
For some reason, he didn't feel any hostility from it through their strange bond and somehow knew Samu'dra isn't completely leaving him.
"Hmm... doesn't seem like it."
But then, Aria ignored the naga and gritted her teeth and helped Jake lean against a nearby rock.
"Don't move."
Jake looked at her.
"I'm fine—"
"No, you're not."
Aria carefully adjusted his position so that he could rest against the rock without putting too much pressure on his injured ribs.
"Just stay here and rest for a while."
Seeing her concerned gaze and gentleness, Jake sighed.
"…Alright."
