Fern x Frieren part 2

Fern

What was that feeling last night?

Fern

(It was... strange. I've never experienced anything like it before.)

Frieren

Fern, are you alright? You seem... distracted.

Fern

Oh! Master Frieren, I'm fine. Just... thinking.

Fern

(Why am I so flustered? It's just Master Frieren...)

Frieren

Hmm... Let me check if you have a fever.

Fern

Ah! I-I'm really okay, Master Frieren!

Fern

(Why did I jump? She's done this countless times before...)

Frieren

Are you certain you're feeling well? Your face seems quite red.

Fern

Yes, yes! I'm perfectly fine. We should... prepare for today's journey!

Fern

(What's wrong with me today? I need to focus!)

Frieren

Very well. But do let me know if anything changes. Even the smallest detail can be significant in magic... and in health.

Frieren

(Humans are so fascinating. Even after all these years, they still surprise me.)
