Freyr was surprised to see that despite the big wound on his side, Ditzy seemed to be fine. He had already heard about how tough Hobgoblins were, but he had a small suspicion that Ditzy was way above average. Nonetheless, he was glad he was fine. After all, they were still helping him on something that was his personal problem, so at least for Freyr, everything that happened to them until now was, in part, his fault too.

When he asked about Nera, Freyr gave a distant smile and was in silence for a bit almost as if he was considering his options.

[color=8dc73f]"The Viera may begin as part of the Wood, but the Wood is not the only end that we may choose..."[/color] Freyr said, looking to Ditzy and Nagare. 

[color=8dc73f]"Now Jote and the Viera as a race may finally understand this. After everything that happened."[/color]

[color=8dc73f]"Nera has to make this choice herself. It would be wrong for me to try and persuade her."[/color] Freyr completed.

Back on the guild, the group was immediately welcomed by Haley, with the same cheerful and happy behavior that were already characteristic of her, despite the apparent... tension in the air between Titanica and Vară. Surprisingly enough, Haley seemed to know a bit about the Viera and how they treated exiles and outsiders.

Almost as if reading his mind, Nagare replied Haley, almost immediately answering one of the doubts Freyr himself had. Apparently, despite everything, she seemed to be happy that she had the opportunity to meet the Viera race and their town.

[color=8dc73f]"Well... We did run into trouble. But I'm glad that everything turned out to be ok. Regarding how Viera treat Exiles, things may begin to slowly change from now on... I'm not sure if how they treat outsiders will change though..."[/color] Freyr replied after Nagare with a chuckle.

In fact, there was the probability that if the Viera abolished the tradition about exiles, they may begin to treat the woods with more zeal than before, as a safe haven, a sanctuary for only the Vieras, making it even harder for humans or other races to enter the forest despite the Viera themselves being allowed to leave.

[color=8dc73f]"It might not have been exactly a... pleasant vacation... But I'm glad that both Ditzy and Nagare were able to see the town I was born into."[/color] He finished, with a calm smile.

Almost immediately after Freyr finished, Nagare went to where Titanica and Vară were, probably to try and defuse any possible conflict that might arise between both. Freyr was relieved that she was the one who went instead of him, as he had no idea about what was happening nor the reason for the conflict.

Looking to Ditzy, he finally noticed that despite his impressive stamina and resistance, the wound on his side, the pain and the blood loss were starting to take their toll on the poor hobgoblin boy's body. Luckily enough, he was already asking for Sylvia's help. It was only then that Freyr realized how bad Ditzy's state was.

As Sylvia cried, obviously alarmed by Ditzy's state, Freyr couldn't help but feel guilty. Since Ditzy said he was fine earlier, Freyr underestimated how big the wounds on his side were, leading to the situation right now.

[color=8dc73f]"I-I'm... extremely sorry... I underestimated the size of Ditzy's wounds..."[/color] He said, bowing in a formal apology to both Ditzy, Sylvia and Morgan.

[color=8dc73f]"I should have realized that despite how tough Ditzy is, even for a Hobgoblin, he still has his limits, like everyone else. I'm sorry."[/color] He said, apologizing again.

[color=8dc73f]"Is there anything I can help you with?"[/color] he asked, looking to Sylvia, Morgan and Ditzy.

[color=8dc73f]"I can see if there's some meat in the kitchen for you, you mentioned you were hungry, didn't you?"[/color] he asked, looking to Ditzy.
