But Paul just leaned his face in toward me, as if to intimidate me. “Rudy. She’s there. Zenith is there—your mother! How can you be so calm?”

“You would prefer I panic? How would me losing my composure solve anything?”

“That’s not what I’m talking about!” he barked back.

I knew what he meant. True, maybe I was being a bit too cool-headed right now. My attitude certainly wasn’t appropriate for a child who’d found their mother after she’d been missing for six years.

But, well, I hadn’t had much contact with Zenith since I was a child. I didn’t really have a strong sense of her being my mother. If anything, she was more like a person that just happened to have lived with us. After all, I’d left their house when I was seven years old and hadn’t seen her for almost ten years.

So maybe it wasn’t entirely my fault that I was having a lukewarm reaction.

“For now, let’s just get on the same page about our current predicament,” I said.

“Huh?!”

I ignored Paul’s bluster and began speaking matter-of-factly, “Our magic didn’t work on that guardian. It has incredible regenerative abilities and its offensive strength is so overwhelming that it broke past Miss Elinalise’s defenses just by brushing up against her. Then there’s my mother, who’s trapped inside a crystal. Frankly speaking, we don’t know if she’s alive or not.”

“Piss off! I already know all that! I’m saying that’s not the attitude to have when we’ve finally found her!” Paul said.

Geese cut in again, “I told you, knock it off! You can squabble when we get back to the inn!” This time he forcibly peeled Paul off me.

Paul spat under his breath as he plunked down onto the floor, “Dammit, enough of this.”

He already understood the situation; he didn’t need me to go spell it out for him. It was just my attitude that he couldn’t stand. Even I could agree that I was being too unemotional, but I couldn’t help it. What did he want me to do?

Elinalise clapped her hands together. “All right, enough with the fighting. Now let’s discuss!”

Both Paul and I took our sweet time joining them in their circle on the floor. Roxy looked a bit flustered as she glanced between the two of us. It seemed I’d worried her.

“I’m fine,” I assured her.

“Are you sure…?”

It wasn’t the first time something like this had happened between us. Once things were finished, Paul would come to his senses. I was sure I’d feel something too, once Zenith was safe and I could hear her voice again.

That’s right. That had to be true. Things had just gotten a little off kilter this time; that was all.

“Ahem.” Roxy cleared her throat. “Um, as for Zenith being crystallized, I think there’s something we can do about that,” she said, sounding a bit more cheerful than usual.

“Really?!” Paul looked relieved.

“Yes. I’ve heard occasional tales of powerful magic items encased in magic crystal. Once we defeat the guardian, the crystal will liquify and we’ll be able to get her out.
