"Hey, Sapph.." I say to him, looking up from the stone I had in my hand. "What if I try it?" I ask.
"I wouldn't be against the idea. But let's wait until a combat situation, it could be handy to have it at full energy at that time." He says, ruffling my hair again and I glare at him in response.
"Let's just go back to our camp.." I say, sounding a bit irritated more than anything.
"I have a idea.." He pipes up. "Pack your stuff, we should move to a better area, if we want to get more corrupted gems out of the order." He orders, moving back to the campsite we have nearby.
"Where are we gonna go?" I ask as I follow. I just wanted a good nap.. I didn't like what I just saw, deep down in my soul. Seeing the life fade from her eyes as blood pours out her nose and mouth...
"Taiga biome.." He informs. The cold? Damn you..
"Seriously? There's a taiga here?" I ask, rubbing my eyes.
"Yeah. There's everything here." He responds. That's great....

We get to the campsite, I going to my tent and grabbing my little supplies.
"Hmmf. Stupid.. This is stupid." I mutter under my breath as I take my notebook and shove it into my little pouch I brought when I originally came here.
"You want some new clothes?" Sapphire suddenly asks from behind me. I didn't expect him, not at all.
"Huh?" I respond, looking up from my bag and looking at the veiled man, who's carrying his own bag.
"You.. Don't seem to have any other pairs. You've been wearing the same sweater for months and i've heard women have large closets normally, so.." he trails off as he pulls out a hoodie, likely his own looking at the size. "-Was wondering if you wanted this, especially considerong we're entering the taiga and your sweater is quite torn and thin." He offers.
I stare at it for a moment, considering the option before reluctantly taking the oversized clothing of warmth.
"Thanks.." I mumble as I slip it on. It's comfortable and nice to wear, the material feels.. Weirdly divine.
"You wear stuff other than that raggedy veil and stuff?" I ask, gesturing to his outfit.
"Well I simply can't sleep in this. I like comfort too, if you didn't know." He responds.
"Okay.." I say, side-eyeing him as I pull on the hood and put on my small white and black bag. "Let's move, you ready?" I ask him, and he nods.
"Yup. I wouldn't be here otherwise." He says and he turns on his heel and starts to make his leave to somewhere else, I following in suit.

The walk took long, and at nightfall we weren't even halfway there. Sapphire set up the tent as I sat down on the ground, looking for bugs to write about in my journal. I have to continue my studies even if I am stuck here and in a dire situation.
As soon as I saw something actually remarkable Sapphire takes me to the tent.
"Sleep." He orders simply, gesturing to the blanket on my side of the tent.
"You can't just demand me to sleep, dammit." I respond. "That's like asking a depressed person to 'stop being sad'." I add, glaring at him as I sat down onto the blankets. "Besides, how do we know this region is safe?" I ask.
