"We have one more lecture today in two hours. It's on Fundamentals of Combat," Vlad revealed, walking beside Chloe in the busy hallway filled with echoing chatter and the footsteps of students. "Do you have any plans in the meantime?"
"Mana stone?" Chloe replied, her hand holding Vlad's arm by his biceps as they walked. She was in high spirits since Vlad called her baby. Although her face was neutral, Vlad could clearly see the bright smile hidden beneath, like sunlight behind a thin cloud.
"The market is located near the girls' dormitory," Vlad revealed, checking the map on his phone. "It will take us an hour to reach there on foot. We can go there after the class."
"Okay," Chloe instantly agreed. "Where to then?"
"I have a place in mind—"
"Let's go together," Chloe replied, cutting him mid-sentence.
"Sure," Vlad chuckled. Seeing her happy was a treat to his eyes.
