That got everyone's attention.
They all turned to Mel almost at the same time.
Sitting calmly beside Arthur.
Tail relaxed.
Looking like she hadn't just been running nonstop.
Selene narrowed her eyes slightly.
"…What about it?"
Lyra crossed her arms.
"The weight she's using isn't enough anymore."
Silence.
Arthur nodded slowly.
"…Yeah. I noticed."
Lyra continued,
"So I left to fix that."
Nox blinked.
"Fix… how?"
Lyra answered simply,
"I went to the merchants and the smiths."
That made them pause.
Torren scratched his head.
"…Wait. You mean you're making new ones?"
Lyra nodded once.
"Yes."
Arthur let out a small breath.
"…Of course you are."
It made sense.
The process took time, that explained the delay.
And also..
"…She's always like this."
Already planning ahead.
Already adjusting.
Selene folded her arms slightly.
"…So it got that bad?"
Lyra didn't soften it.
"Yes."
Their eyes shifted back to Mel again.
This time differently.
Not just curious.
