"You're the last one I want to hear that from," Amber growled at rlin, "You're the one running around butt naked like it's nothing,"
"It's not like I have a choice," rlin stared at her with a grin, "And it's Arad here, not soone else. Why would I mind being naked around him?"
"He's a man," Amber growled, "No, forget it, don't get naked in front of anyone, a man or a woman,"
rlin stared at Arad, "A man?"
"What?" Arad looked back at her with a passive face.
"Well, he isn't," rlin said, "Worst case, he's a brat, and the best case, he's a monster,"
"Huh?" Amber stared at her with a confused face, "You might be blind,"
"No," rlin stared at her, "You're the blind one, look at his eyes,"
Amber looked at Arad's eyes, her eyes glowing with a faint red light as she approached his face. "There is nothing in there," She got closer, that their noses almost touched.
But then, as she stared at Arad's eyes the darkness in his eyes seed endless, and Amber slowly zoned out, getting a sudden sense of falling.
"AHH!" She cried, falling on her back and crawling back. "What was that?" She stared at rlin.
"What do you think it is?" rlin stared at her with an exhausted face, "Let's sleep. If you didn't realize it on your own, you aren't that much better than the average mage."
"I an," Amber looked at her, "I know that was the magic of a dragon, but he's a draconic bloodline sorcerer. What I don't understand is what is strange about that?"
rlin waved her hand, yawning, "Just co here and let us sleep,"
^He doesn't have his draconic powers now, so sensing it is hard. His draconic nature won't feel any different than a normal sorcerer.^ rlin crawled above Arad, resting her head on his chest and closing her eyes.
"Fine," Amber did the sa, lying on Arad's chest, then pulled her robe over them.
Arad extended his hand out, ^I hate this human body,^ His eyes slowly closed, ^It's too weak, too frail, too slow, and get exhausted easily,^

Back on the first layer, the monsters there looked around. "Sothing entered the maze," One of them said, turning to the side.
CRACK! Her body got sent flying, spinning in the air with her bones broken as a large shadow rushed across the field at an incredible speed.
"Stop it!" Another monster shouted as she rushed toward the being, but it only took one ram from her to fall to the ground and then get trampled.
"The boss would stop him," Another shouted.
"You idiot, it didn't respawn yet. That thing would slip right to the second layer." Another replied.
****
Arad opened his eyes, seeing only darkness ahead of him. Sothing heavy rests on his face. "Get off ," He growled.
"Another minute," rlin mumbled, wiggling in place.
Arad lifted his arms, grabbing her by the hips, "You move a lot," He lifted her butt up, "Can't you learn to sleep in one position?"
"Hahaaaaa," rlin mumbled, half asleep half awake.
"I said wake up," She shook her and she woke up, "What's going on?" As she looked down, she saw Arad lifting her butt over his face, "What are you doing?"
"That's my question. You started hitting with your elbow, then ended up turning around and laying at my face. Are you an hour-finger thing or sothing?"
"They are called hands," rlin replied with a smug face.
"I don't care," Arad sighed, "You move a lot in your sleep,"
She sighed, "Sorry, in my tower I have four kingsized beds sat beside each other in a square and filled with pillows and blankets. I usually sleep there alone like it's a nest."
"I see," Arad looked at her.
"You're seeing too much," She looked back at him, "Mind putting down?"
"I'm thinking about it,"
"What do you an by that?" She gasped.
Arad gently put her down and she sighed, "Thanks," She said with a tired face, "How much ti has passed?"
"I don't know, but I would say not more than two hours," Arad replied.
"How do you know?" rlin stared at him, "You don't know ti magic, do you?"
"I know a spell that slow ti, but I can't use it with this body," Arad pointed with his finger at the light coming from beneath the door, "I used that to count,"
rlin blinked, "You know how to slow ti?" She smiled, "Impressive. But, you can't rely on the sun inside a labyrinth to tell ti,"
"It didn't feel longer than expected," Arad looked at her, "And does that matter now? It's already passed, and our only option is to keep clearing this place,"
"You're right," She looked toward Arad's torso, seeing Amber crawling there and using his stomach as a pillow. "We should her rest a bit longer,"
"She needs to rest," Arad smiled.
"We're an archmage that is used to sleeping three hours a day and a dragon that barely sleeps." rlin giggled.
"I can't say I don't need sleep now," Arad replied. "This current body I have get exhausted easily. I might be in the sa boat as her,"
rlin sat beside Arad, "Rest your head," She tapped her thigh, "You need to sleep more, don't you?"
Arad put his head on her thigh and closed his eyes, slowly drifting into sleep.
"I was watching as you fought that tarrasque." She combed his hair with her fingers, "Your power is growing faster than anyone I've seen in my life. I'm sure you will clear this labyrinth and more in the future."
"You spy a lot on ," He mumbled.
"Of course I do," She giggled, "Your power is far beyond what people are comfortable dealing with. It's best that I be the one keeping an eye on you rather than anyone else."
"The tower won't send people after ,"
"Do you trust that halfling words? I'm expected to report if you turned evil since I didn't. That's the only way no more wizards are coming here to catch you alive." rlin smiled, "Wizards don't only work for the tower. They are crazed people. They would catch you for their own experints even if Lilia didn't need you."
rlin blinked. Arad had fallen asleep.
