Explosion is art

Catrina turned away.

She walked up to Lathel, and the coldness in her eyes behind the mask immediately softened.

"Are you hurt?"

Lathel shook his head.

Catrina still checked him once more. Only after confirming that he was truly fine did she relax.

Lathel frowned slightly and used sign language.

When did you start following me?

Catrina understood, but she remained silent for two seconds before answering, "Since Aldric called you over."

Lathel looked at her.

"I didn't want to stop you." Catrina spoke very naturally. "But I don't trust him either."

He paused slightly.

She continued, "So I only watched."

It was only one simple sentence, but Lathel understood.

In the past, Catrina would have immediately dragged him back. Now, she allowed him to make his own decision, and only when Aldric truly attacked did she intervene.

Lathel remained silent for a while before giving a slight nod.
