Abandoned

Apollo looked at the dead high-level toxic creature next to him, then to Layla who was bashfully touching the tips of her fingers together. He pinched the bridge of his nose and let out a sigh.

"...We need to find another one now."

Layla's tail swayed slowly.

"Um, sorry friend."

Apollo blinked a few times.

Although Layla definitely pissed him off, there was also the consideration that she was the one that found the high-level toxic being in the first place. On top of that, if it wasn't for her, it would've escaped after digging underground.

Apollo shook his head helplessly.

"Whatever. Can you see another one?"

Layla's furry ears twitched.

She spun around, doing a quick scan of the area.

"Oh, I see one there!"

Apollo nodded.

"Lead the way please."

At that moment, a little insect had caught up to them after running as fast as it could. Upon seeing the two, it felt relieved.

Then, Layla bolted off.
