[ Celica would be lying if she said she wasn't a bit surprised that Seteth had asked her, of all people, to accompany him. After all, there were many others at the monastery whom Celica felt were far more efficient in Faith magic than she was. Sure, she had been raised and taught all she knows by the nuns, but there was always room for growth.

However, it wasn't as if she wasn't grateful that he had chosen her. Quite the opposite. It's a little embarrassing for her to admit, but she's always viewed Seteth as something of a guardian, mentor, father figure to her. His very presence filled the void that her actual father had left in her heart, and so she wasn't opposed to the idea of spending more time with him, even if most of it was spent on their mission.

Celica follows along quietly until she hears that heavy sigh of his, causing her to turn her attention towards him. He seemed...stressed, more stressed than usual. Was something on his mind? ]

I suppose I am a little hungry... [ It was only natural to be with how long their mission had taken, but Celica hadn't given her hunger any thought prior to Seteth mentioning it. She's just relieved that they could help out that village and aid those who had been afflicted. ] Although...is something the matter, Seteth? You look as though there is something bothering you. Are you alright?
