Sylvia's POV:

The three of us arrived at the appointed place. We waited for what seemed like an eternity, but there was still no sign of Harry.

"Did that idiot forget about our mission?" Flora was going crazy. She kept scratching her arms and whining, "The mosquitoes are eating me alive!"

The climate here was much hotter than that of the imperial capital, so we all wore plain loose T-shirts.

Our meeting spot was in front of a remote wasteland. Not only were there countless mosquitoes, but also plenty of unidentifiable bugs. They liked to crawl on our skin and bite us, but fortunately, they weren't poisonous.

Warren and I didn't seem to attract these bugs and mosquitoes. Flora, on the other hand, was different. Just like Harry, she attracted these insects like honey attracted ants. We weren't standing there long before her arms were covered in swollen red spots.

Warren offered his thin coat to her for the nth time. "Put it on. It'll protect you from the bugs." Flora pursed her lips and looked at the coat wordlessly. She seemed to be hesitating.

I couldn't keep watching her suffer so I took the coat from Warren and draped it across Flora's shoulders. "If you want to fall asleep tonight, stop being so stubborn."
