To avoid the intensity of this awkward and uncomfortable situation, Malaya was the first one to shift her head away. It is because she could truly feel the loud beat of her heart and it beca hard for her to breathe. "Ehem, alright! I can see your point of view now. So now it will be the best decision if I will continue my rest now, right?" Malaya said in an attempt to calm the situation and the awkward situation.
There was another silence that filled the air after she said those words. She tried her best to think of any words to speak. And just right on the bat...
"By the way, I apologize for laughing when you thank sincerely. I just can't help my stupid myself." She said without looking back. But she could feel that Kayden's stares were boring holes in her back.
Then she rembered back in the forest where she talked about the witch in the forest to him. She took a deep breath before speaking without looking back at Kayden. "Ah one more thing, before anything else I'm sorry too for speaking out of line back at the forest about that woman. And thank you for saving as well this ti as you always do every ti I'm in danger."
"Is this your way of thanking and apologizing? Not looking at soone. How can I know whether you're sincere or not?"
'Ah,' Malaya wanted to scream out loud. 'How co he is so talkative today?'
Malaya slowly turned her head towards Kayden. And the latter was now a ter away from him but still looking at her. When she was going to open her mouth, Kayden beat her to it.
"Forget it. Just rest now." He said as he crossed his arms and leaned more comfortably on the wall.
Seeing this reaction Malaya turned her head away. 'This guy has seriously lots of problems going on his mind.'
There was a heavy and awkward silence that filled the air for the both of them. Or only Malaya could feel this since from what she saw from Kayden he seed not bothered by this situation at the very least.
Unbeknownst to her, Kayden was watching her from behind and there was a small upward arc on his mouth. Even the guy himself didn't realize that he had a small grin on his face.
Malaya simply closed her eyes to sleep once more. ' Tss Malaya what's happening to you? Why all of the sudden you are getting flustered by this, huh?' She took a deep breath to calm all of her senses 'I must be tired right now causing to have these strange feelings.'
But after a few more monts, Malaya slowly opened her eyes wide. 'D*mn, I can't sleep at all. My mind and heart are both crazy active together. Ahh, I think I'm literally going crazy now.' she rolled her hair because of the thoughts she created on her head.
Malaya slowly turned her back towards Kayden. And the latter was now in a different spot. He was now increasing the fire from the bonfire once again. Malaya observed his actions for a minute after she could think about whatever topic she should talk about with Kayden.
"Say, Kayden. What happened to ? Or what kind of poison caused this predicant?"
There was silence.
"Do you have any idea what was happening in the village right now?" Malaya attempted to ask again.
There was more silence. And the whisper of the cold wind and the fire on the bonfire was the only thing they can hear
"Do you perhaps see the creepy woman who did this to ? How did you deal with her? Did you fight her?"
And from what she expected there was another silence as Kayden just focused on fixing the fire like it was the most interesting thing inside the cave right now.
'What the? This guy.' Malaya couldn't help but sigh deeply inside her mind. Then a sudden brilliant thought ca to her mind. From all those cliche novels she read there was this certain interesting scenario. A frivolous grin ford her lips.
"How long did I lose my consciousness? What is the exact thing that happened to ? If you don't answer this question, it ans I'm the most beautiful woman for you in this world." Malaya said with a huge grin on her face. In her mind, given Kayden's pride, he will surely choose to answer the question...or not? Well let's see, I think it will be the most interesting part talking with this guy.
There was only silence as Kayden stood up after fixing the bonfire. He turned his back to Malaya as he started to walk away from her. Which she didn't expect to happen.
'This guy has truly so nerves of steel to remain silent. But does it an, I'm the most beautiful woman to her? Ah, shut it. It must be simply a mistake. Though I know I'm beautiful enough, surely Kayden must have seen far more beautiful people than .' then Kayden in the dungeon flashed in her mind. 'Or not?' Malaya shook her head strongly. 'Ah, darn it. I should just ask the next trap question for him to speak. Tss why even talking to this guy needs a plan and I need to make an effort? '
"What happened so far while I'm unconscious? If you don't answer this question, it ans you really like ." This ti Malaya asked with confidence. 'Based on his actions so far, there is no way he likes . He will definitely answer this ti...or not again. Tss co on, don't waste my energy thinking about what next action I need to do just to talk with you.'
She looked at Kayden and the latter was now casually sitting again with his back against the wall. He closed his eyes and completely ignored Malaya.
Malaya's grin faltered seeing the hopelessness of the situation. 'He didn't answer once again. Does it an that he likes ? But now that I think of it, he always appears and helps .' Malaya strongly shook her head. 'There is no way for that to happen. It must be simply because I help him. Aish! For sure, for him, it was just a give and take situation.'
This ti Malaya turned her face away from Kayden. She faced the other side with a flustered feeling. 'Why am I the one falling into this trap of questions in the first place?!' She scread inside her mind.
Having been with this woman for quite a long ti, Kayden had already seen how this woman can be shaless most of the ti. With how she was energetically talking right now about more shaless things, no one could think that this woman was on the brink of death yesterday.
If Kayden was one step away from being late from treating Malaya from the poison using his dark magic, her breathing was becoming a loss of control and she would surely die now. The poison that was put to her would not kill her right away. But in just a few more hours. He didn't know what kind of poison it was but, being used to being fed with poison during his childhood in the dungeon, sensed the danger of the poison based on the symptoms Malaya was showing.
That unknown woman that was with Malaya when he arrived, vanished the mont he tried to attack and subdued her.
And now seeing how lively Malaya was again, Kayden's gaze was only focused on her. Unbeknownst to Malaya, he could completely hear every bit of her mutterings. Then these mutterings beca less and less until he could hear soft snores now.
This ti, Kayden stood up and walked towards Malaya. He was very careful not to make any unnecessary noise to not wake up Malaya. He leaned closer towards her as he took hold of the blanket that was on Malaya so she felt the warmth and did not get caught in a cold. He gently fixed it, and Malaya's sleeping expression beca more comfortable.
'You're always this reckless. You really do not have a sense of danger. For you to sleep so soundly like this...' His right hand was slowly reaching her face but then it stopped midway. 'What am I going to do just now?' He imdiately retracted his hands and stood up.
"I should get going now," a dark fla appeared in his hands.
"Brother!" Mori's excited voice resounded at the other end of the dark fla. "You finally call !"
"I will arrive there now within a minute. Do what you must do now." Kayden said as he closed his hands. The dark fla imdiately disappeared. He gave one last glance towards Malaya. 'I should get back before she wakes up again.'
He gestured his hand and dark flas surrounded Malaya. The distance was a ter away from her. 'Even if she wakes up while I'm gone this should make her stay here..' And with that said dark flas started to surround Kayden as well until he completely vanished into this thin air.
