Fern x Frieren part 4

Fern

Did you hear that? I think I sense something...

Frieren

Fern? Where are you going?

Frieren

Fern! Wait!

Frieren

This presence... it's familiar. Fern, stay close-

Frieren

(Something's not right. This feels like a trap.)

Aura

Gotcha! Time for a little lesson in vigilance!

Frieren

Aura?! What are you-

Frieren

(I should have known. Her magical signature is getting stronger.)

Fern

I'm so sorry, Master Frieren! I don't know what came over me!

Fern

I've jeopardized our safety. I'm truly, deeply sorry!

Frieren

It's alright, Fern. I could never be angry with you.

Frieren

(These moments... they're precious. I mustn't forget that.)

Fern

Master Frieren, are you okay? You look a bit... flushed.

Fern

(Is Master Frieren... blushing? No, that can't be right...)
