"…I might be gone for the next few days," Lane said suddenly, as they were lying on the bed, cuddling after dinner, dessert, and the second dessert in the form of bed testing.
At those words, Damien's hand, which was stroking Lane's hair, paused. "Where are you going?" he couldn't help but ask.
"Well… Just here and there… I have a few things I need to take care of, as I probably won't have much time after I join the Association…"
"Are you… going on a dungeon raid?"
"Nope, nothing like that! Just… Traveling out of the Capital a bit," Lane said dismissively, avoiding giving any specifics.
"Then… Will you keep in touch?"
"Yeah, sure. I'll just be visiting a few places, but not any Gates, so I won't be going out of range…" Not for long periods of time, at least. "But I might not be able to talk on the phone," he soon added. "Messages are alright, though."
