"It's alright. It's nothing important, anyway."
"It is important," Rith complained, "Now I feel like you're going to slack on training during your job under Nasst."

"Sigh, how long are you going to be gone for, anyway?" Rhea asked afterwards.
"I'm not sure. I'm hoping I won't have to do much during the job, as it is my first mission, but my superior's expression seems to say otherwise," Evin said, remembering Nasst's rather serious tone of voice as he told Evin about his new task.
"Just come back soon, I'll be waiting for you… Always," Rhea said wistfully.
