Hearing her words, Lorien felt that his throat was getting a bit dry.
Clenching his fist, he asked again, "Why did you save me?"
He thought that he wasn't gonna get a response, but this time, Celeste answered him. However, her reply was totally out of his expectation, which made him quickly raise his head up; he accidentally slammed his arm onto the tree behind him. He did not control his power, so a few seconds later, the tree slipped into half and crashed to the ground, sending a flock of birds that were originally resting on the tree scattering into the sky.
"Why?" she repeated. "When someone asks me for help, I can't think of any reason not to help them."
"You were asking for me to save you, weren't you?"
An awkward silence rose in the air.
Lorien's lips moved a little, as if he wanted to say something. But when his eyes met Celeste's, he did not say a word at the end.
