Eren and Emily left at first light.
Rosa wasn't happy about staying behind but Emily shut it down before she could argue. "You're Level 3. The things outside the totem area would eat you before you could scream." She said it with a half-smile that almost looked friendly.
Rosa crossed her arms. "I could scream pretty fast."
"Stay with Selena. Practice your Elvish. Kill slimes if you get bored." Eren handed her one of the kobold scimitars and she took it with both hands like it weighed forty pounds. It didn't but the gesture was enough.
Fury and Rury flanked them as they moved north past the ruins and kept going. Emily set the pace and it was fast. Her katana bounced against her back with each step and her hair was tied tight in a combat knot that showed the sharp line of her jaw.
