He chuckled, shaking his head.
"You really say the weirdest things sometimes."
"I'm being completely scientific," she said with a mock-serious nod before floating off his lap. "Anyway, I'll go prepare breakfast."
Isaac stood and followed her to the kitchen, watching her move around with surprising energy considering how she'd looked half-asleep a moment ago.
She glanced back at him.
"You're not going to the gym today?" she asked.

"It's about Avery. She's a water elemental spirit. She came because she sensed the fertility of my farmland. Right now, she's fusing with the land. She'll stay dormant for two or three weeks, and after that, she should wake up."
He explained more about Avery and the conversation they had.
Emily blinked a few times.
"A spirit?" she repeated. "You mean like an actual elemental spirit?"
"Yeah."
