It was still early, and in their silent walk, all that could be heard were the chirping of birds, the chirping of insects, and the sound of their footsteps.
Although the two remained silent, Vera felt incredibly at ease watching Inra's retreating figure... Was it the strength of her companion that brought her this sense of security, or something else entirely?
Vera didn't think about this question.
