Evaline:
"Why are you so nervous?"
I was jolted out of my thoughts when he suddenly asked the question. We had left the rest of the class behind and were about ten minutes away from the hotel.
"Well... do you really need to ask?" I questioned while tightening my hold on his neck.
Though I couldn't see his face as I was on his back, I could still tell that he was smiling. He didn't respond and continued gracefully descending the mountains.
Instead of ten minutes, Oscar brought the two of us at the hotel in only five minutes, finally allowing me to get down from his back.
The manager led me to the kitchen while Oscar left to grab the herbs from my room. For the next fifteen minutes, I was busy preparing the potion - measuring, crushing, grinding, and mixing the herbs.
Once it was ready, Oscar led me to one of the rooms on ground floor where Instructor Corey was waiting with an unconscious Gavin.
