Hinata’s smile quickly changed looking at the condition Damon was currently in, and her face became worried. "Is everything alright? What happened just now? Were you in a dangerous situation, forced to use the teleportation scroll?"
Damon could only bitterly smile.
"I see," Hinata nodded. "I thought I had dragged you into needless danger and put your life at risk, but now I can see you’re doing fine on your own." She laughed lightly and leaned forward to give a hand to Damon. "Why don’t you come with me first? I think I have someone you might be looking for."
Damon raised a brow. He then remembered the elven girl whom he had almost once again forgotten. What the hell was with that? Sure he had many things going on his mind but he had never been this forgetful before.
He got up and walked next to Hinata, drawing many eyes in their direction.
Hinata was a beautiful woman. She was wearing a dark green robe that accentuated her body, studded with many valuable gems and enchantments, something that commoners would never be able to afford. Even some of the nobles were looking at her with envy.
More importantly, they were staring at the new face who was walking alongside such a high-status figure.
Soon they walked over to one of the rooms in the adventure hall. "She is inside here." Hinata nodded.
Damon opened the door and immediately he could see the elven girl, sitting in a corner holding her knees and trembling. Surprisingly, the moment she saw Damon, she ran over and hugged him tightly.
Damon was a little taken aback and from the looks of it, so was the elven girl as she quickly backed away and stood frozen like a little scared bunny.
"Thank you for getting her. I had to send her before I could get here because of a situation and hoped that she would be safe here. Thankfully, you saw to that."
Hinata nodded gently and stepped out of the room, leaving them alone with a polite smile. "I’ll give you two a moment."
The door clicked shut, and silence filled the room again.
The elven girl didn’t say a word. She simply stood there, wringing the edge of her sleeve, eyes flickering between Damon’s face and the ground. Her earlier hug seemed to have surprised her even more than it surprised him.
"Are you fine?" Damon asked and the girl did not answer.
"I am sorry to send you like that all alone. You must have been scared. I only did that to protect your life. Well, I guess I shouldn’t have dragged you along in the first place but things happened. Let’s just leave it. In the future, I will try not to drag you along into complicated situations."
The elf still did not respond but Damon now knew that she atleast trusted him a little bit.
