The moment Garrick gave the word, the trainees split off in different directions and ran.
Moments later, Zephyrion moved through the dense forest with Fiona trailing quietly by his side.
As he recalled Garrick's wink from earlier, Zephyrion frowned slightly.
Given Fiona's… problem, the best option would have been for her to sit out the mission. Yet he had assigned her to him instead.
'He did this intentionally.'
Garrick clearly intended for him to do something about her situation. Zephyrion felt a faint irritation at the thought of being used without being asked first. He was certain the man was currently watching them.
As they walked, Fiona kept stealing quick glances at him, only to look away with a faint blush the moment their eyes met.
Zephyrion's expression remained unchanged.
'It's possible.'
Considering the nature of this mission, it was possible to resolve her problem and make progress in her acquisition.
