Tales of the Jewel

"Oh, I see. Thank you for the offer, but for now, I feel Ihave much work to do." She fell silent. "You know...over the last few days I felt that though the city has many healers and surgeons, it needs more. Even more, somehow." She let out a sigh. "Perhaps I can do something worthwhile there. And e...

She chuckled and purred out, standing on her tiptoes to properly kiss him back before sinking to her feet, giving his hands a squeeze. "I promise, I'll be thinking about you in my dreams, dear. So don't miss me too much~" With dinner cleaned up, Sora waved to Qasim and made her way out of the restau...
