Just looking at the bright side
"Ooh..."
I stared at the marble the size of a billiard ball on the table. It glowed with a shimmering red light that reflected on the table's surface in resplendent color.
Not gonna lie, it was pretty for a walkie-talkie—I mean, a long-distance communication device or whatever. You know, the one I said only worked between two devices?
It stood on a pedestal carved with a rune, I supposed to charge energy and activate the spell? There was another marble on Natha's palm, glowing with the same red light.
If apologizing was his first agenda, the second one would be delivering this pseudo-phone to me, just like he promised before we departed for the festival at that time.
"Ahem—test...test..." I muttered in front of the marble, and my voice came through the other one nearly at the same time. I turned toward Natha, who was lounging on the couch watching me with a smile, and grinned.
