TBATE Duality

Chapter 118

Jade Leywin POV

*Knock knock*

"Who the hell...?" I mumbled as the fairly insistent knocking woke me up

Checking the mana signature of the disturber I recognised Ellie, what the hell is she doing here at this hour? No wait, what hour is it?

I checked the clock on the bedside table, 11.30 A.M. damn it's late, looking at my side Mai was nowhere to be found, instead I noticed a little note placed on her bedside table

I have some things to do in the morning and you were sleeping so peacefully I didn't want to wake you up, I'll be in the outskirts of Zestier in the early afternoon, join me after lunch if you wake up in time, just call me and track down my mana signature, I'll wait for you
Mai.

*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK*

The knocking got even more insistent, okay I guess I should open the door, after checking that I was still wearing clothes I opened the door using magic, Ellie walked in, she was wearing a light, white blouse underneath soft, leather armor with a pair of brown trousers and a pair of black, kneehigh boots, her hair were held together in a low tail that flowed on her back, a pair of long gloves that went up to mid bicep completed her look alongside the bow strapped on her back, she had long since outgrown the old elven bow Tessia gifted her years ago, right now she was using a special one designed for her by Emily, all in all she looked ready to go out in the beast glades as an adventurer, which I guess it's not entirely wrong since she started to help the Twin Horns in her free time, she had a half annoyed half uneasy expression, I can understand the annoyance but the uneasiness usually comes when she wants to ask me something, something I usually don't like

"Ellie, what brings you here?" I asked

"I need to ask you something" she said as I expected

"Sure, come on sit down and tell me everything" I told her gesturing her to sit on the bed

"Yeah, I'm not going to touch that bed, not even with a ten meters long pole, I don't even want to know what kind of things you two did on that" she replied shaking her head

Cheeky little...

"If that worries you I don't think you should have entered this room in the first place" I stated keeping my voice even

"Wha..." her confused expression shifted to a mixture of shock, disgust and rage as realisation dawned on her

"I'm joking, we only did it on..."

"I DON'T WANT TO KNOW!" she screamed interrupting me

"When did you even learn about that? Who taught you?" I asked

"Ehm, hello, I'm almost 16 remember? It would be strange if I did NOT know about sex" she argued me

"Okay, fair point" I said, snapping my fingers I conjured a chair for her

"Here, I just conjured this chair so you don't have to worry" I told her

"Thanks"

"So, what do you want to ask me?"

"Are you sure you can't read minds? Because seriously sometimes it really looks like you can" she said knitting her eyebrows
