When Abel became quiet, d2cf787736 the large hand that 71a0d56e5b covered his mouth slowly d4bba9077e released. Abel turned his fa739394eb head to confirm 635876ecaa the identity of 387cd2f0fb the other person d66d18c35e once again. The man was 34abf0ede8 still bent over, d47052ca28 looking down at 0a19858ef7 Abel. His face was so 2351b1a34c close that his gray 9c3bd75a28 eyes were clearly visible b1ce898ef0 even in the darkness.510cb7db68bf2d24

It was efa70f300f a night 9723ed6cb5 with a 0fbe60d138 faint half-moon. Only those familiar 3175df6ae8 with the path 30826c6f6e would need to d653c83b36 carry a torch 8b5ff0d721 to walk. However, eyes that ca12f6a27a are accustomed to a1a9dbc7b3 darkness were helpful. Abel listened, felt f016bcbe58 with his skin, 0db72d614c and confirmed once 9ac0f78fa9 more who it 5e1d8c0cdd was by the b3729a2321 pounding of his 4118777e32 heart.

The arms holding him tightly, keeping him afloat in the air, and the face so close to his own. Although he couldn’t see clearly, he could tell that the man had tilted his head to the side, as was his habit. They had only spent three days together, but for Abel, it felt as long as three years, making him able to guess the expression on his face so close that he could hear his breathing. It would probably be as expressionless and desolate as usual.fc3c6dbcf7c7fa7c

But why had he suddenly grabbed him and brought him into the forest? Had something happened? Or had the enemy really invaded? It was strange. He wasn’t exactly afraid, but his tongue felt oddly stiff, and he couldn’t open his mouth again. It was as if he were captivated by the man’s gaze. Funny enough, he couldn’t even see his gray eyes clearly right now.ed02c661b07787f8

Abel finally managed to open his mouth but soon realized why it had been so difficult. They were so close that he could hear the man’s breathing, which meant his own breath could reach him as well. Indeed, as soon as he spoke, he felt his breath touch the man’s face. This made his previously steady breathing stop abruptly. Realizing anew how close they were, Abel suddenly became embarrassed and whispered so softly it was barely audible.5bde60dbdf6e0e68

Abel couldn’t bring himself to ask the man to hold him more gently, so he just felt relieved that his injured arm was now free. Now that he was facing Karas, his face was far away due to their height difference. Just having a distance made him feel a little relieved. He silently held his breath, but a question was heard.5e1c151498b05d85
