The carriage moved slowly along the forest road.
The sun was beginning to set.
Inside the carriage, everything was quiet. The group was exhausted.
Max was leaning back against a crate of supplies.
Dorian looked out the window with a calm expression.
Sophie was checking some of her seals.
And in front of them, Neros sat upright. Arms crossed. Completely motionless.
Moon leaned forward.
She tried to look inside the knight's helmet.
She couldn't see anything.
The dark metal completely hid his face.
Moon tilted her head to one side.
Then to the other.
Neros didn't react.
She made a gesture at him.
Then another.
She stuck out her tongue.
Nothing.
Dorian was watching her.
After a few seconds, he let out a small laugh.
"Little dragon, what are you doing?"
Moon frowned.
"I'm trying to see if he's alive."
Dorian laughed again.
Sophie looked up.
"He probably fell asleep again."
Moon blinked.
Then she smiled.
"Ah…"
She leaned forward.
