Or perhaps, he had always been silently following behind him, it's just that he never noticed.
But at this time, Ronan had no energy to contemplate these matters.
"Tha..thank you."
Ronan barely stabilized himself, and the person in the Grey Robe supporting him didn't speak, casting from under the hood a gentle gaze tinged with admiration.
"It's been so long... You are the first person who has managed to come this far."
An unusually young voice, clear and bright, Ronan always found it very familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.
But under the current circumstances, this voice only made him think of an Oasis.
"Do you have.. water?"
Ronan's cracked lips moved slightly, finally unable to hold back, he spoke with a voice so Weak that he could barely hear himself.
The person in the Grey Robe contemplated for a moment, then said, "There's no water... Would something else be okay?"
