"Any idea how long Gale will be stuck in the medical ward?" Glaive asked, breaking the silence as they traveled to Rin's village.<br/>"The doctors said a few more weeks, but you know how fast Gale can heal." replied Ark. "Though I'm surprised to see your concerned about someone other than yourself."<br/>"Don't get the wrong idea. I only wanted to know how long I would be able to enjoy myself without her around." Glaive retorted.<br/>"Is that so?" Ark chuckled a little.<br/>"Yes!"<br/>"Why so defensive? It's not a crime to care for others you know."<br/>"Such emotions are pointless. Compassion, love, mercy; they're a crutch for the weak."<br/>Ark said nothing, thinking it best to leave the subject alone for now.
