The embrace of a soothing warmth, that had lulled him into a sound sleep, withdrawing from his side registered as the first stimulation to his sleep-addled senses. With a long silent yawn tearing up his eyes, Yuuta propped himself up on his arm, covering his mouth with the other. Groggily he blinked a few times before, his eyes shot open at the sight of Rhydal, sitting right next to him, with his flaming orange hair in a slight mess–
Oh.
How did that happen? Last thing he could remember before falling asleep was that he was sitting on sofa and warming his palms by rubbing them together.
Due to the initial shock…or embarrassment, it took him a few seconds to realise there was another person present and Rhydal was talking to them. He turned his head to see it was none other than Flayke. Fortunately for Yuuta, he was able to grasp a portion of the explanation about the item-- well, a pair of them, Rhydal was holding onto. Once the explanation was complete, he reached out for the one with the clear stone, among the pair, made with Arcanian magic to detect and block magic above level of control, as Flayke stated. So if Yuuta wasn’t wrong, this item would practically allow them to gauge the output of mana. A handful gadget, to keep 𝖍𝖎𝖒, who always had something to say about his business, in line. Though the additional information about the ring shattering when the mana output surpassed the creator’s , intrigued the Sukumé sorcerer, for he had encountered very less beings whose mana capacity could rival his.
Yuuta clipped the earring onto his earlobe, the dangling stone swaying with his head strangely making him happy, while he watched Rhydal give his report. [The kid was indeed in a bad condition, when we found him, frostbitten, scared and distressed.], Yuuta continued. [It was thanks to Fox and his fire magic we were able to diffuse the situation successfully. He’d proficiently thawed the ice and kept all of us warm all night.], he added, placing his hand on Rhydal’s shoulder with a grin, before he moved onto the next part of his report.
[I’m not sure how relevant this is, but we came across a strange lake, on our way. The mana around the frozen lake was quite dense with violent emotions and we saw a colossal shadow under the lake thrashing against the superficial layer of ice, which seemed to be a strong barrier made with magic.],Yuuta relayed, looking at Flayke with curiosity.
