Hide turned away from the edge of the hill and walked over to Elara.
He reached into his inventory and summoned three small, glowing glass vials. He knelt down and handed them to the injured girl.
"Drink these," Hide said plainly. "Two Recovery potions and one Mana potion."
Elara blinked, staring down at the vials in her one good hand. Her pale face still looked completely dumbfounded. She looked at Evelyn, then back at Hide, her mouth opening and closing like a fish out of water.
Hide misunderstood her silence.
"Don't worry," Hide added, his tone entirely casual with a smile. "The recovery potions are 1,000 credits each, and the Mana potion is 3,000 credits. I expect to be fully reimbursed when we get out of here. Cash or direct transfer is fine."
Elara and Evelyn were left completely speechless.
Evelyn stared at him, her eye twitching. "Hide. We are literally trapped in a gate, she almost just died, and you are charging her for potions?"
