"That's the proof of your sleep walking." He said blandly and he scooped her back into his arms, feeling bad that he did not just almost let the girl get hit by a car but also in being careless and allowing her foot to ger hurt as well.
Because some early birds started appearing, Zeres could not heal her there and then with his magic in the public so he could only carry her back to the bookstore to get her patched up.
"Are you really sure I sleep-walked all the way here?" she asked him as they headed back. "You didn't accidentally cast a spell on me or something, did you?" she narrowed her eyes and playfully asked him.
"Do I look like someone who would cast a spell accidentally on just anyone?" Zeres replied in a flat voice, not meeting her gaze and was just looking ahead.
Iryz creased her brows. "Well, I don't think I ever sleep-walked before. So, this happening is just a bit too arbitrary for me. In fact, it is unbelievable!"
"It's not that unbelievable. Just because you never sleep-walked before doesn't mean that you will never sleep-walk in your entire life." Zeres reasoned out with her.
"Well… you're right about that, I guess. I think I also had a horrible nightmare… but I can't quite remember the gist of it right now." She scratched the back of her head and furrowed her brows, trying to recall what the nightmare was about.
Zeres' jaws worked. Now he knew that this was his fault. Humans who were forcefully put to sleep by a spell will always have a horrible nightmare but will not remember it. This meant that he was in the wrong and she was actually a human? But how about the reddish thing that was lingering around her? What was that then? fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
Once they were back at the bookstore, Zeres wordlessly put her down on the chair and grabbed her ankle. His palm glowed and he placed it over her feet for a few seconds before releasing it.
"Are you okay now?" she asked him while he was tending to her wounds and Zeres stilled for a moment. Why was she asking him that? He should be the one asking her!
