"Captain Mana, what's wrong with her? Father Turin?" A young human warrior came out of the hall, asking anxiously...
"Don't worry, Bill, the captain is the bravest woman I've ever met. She certainly won't let the attack from the day before yesterday affect her negatively..."
"But I always feel like she's been preoccupied and absent-minded these past two days!"
"Indeed, it seems something is troubling her, but I believe that such a devout knight will find answers from the Holy Light..."
"Oh... I see..." Bill muttered to himself as he turned and walked out of the church.
"She must be thinking about Wes, right? It's been a full ten years, and she still can't let go…" the priest thought, "I almost officiated their wedding, such a pity…"
"Bill? Is that you?" Mana suddenly stopped, turning around.
"Hehe, how did you notice..."
"Ever since I submitted the report to General Aros, you've been following me..."
"...So you knew all along."
"Thank you for caring about me. You really don't need to worry; even if it were Kel'Thuzad's forces, I wouldn't feel an ounce of fear. I trust in the Holy Light; those Scourge can't hurt me…"
"But it was really dangerous at the time! Just think of all those Scourge spreading across the mountains, mixed with disgusting abominations! If the Horde hadn't come to help, we might have all died there! Even if I'm reluctant to admit it, we do owe the Horde people a favor this time..."
"Bill, it seems the fearful one is you!"
"Impossible! I am the bravest warrior! Fear isn't even in my dictionary!!!!"
Seeing the warrior's face turn red, Mana laughed…
The warrior became even more flustered! His face turned purple. "Really! I-I-I'm telling the truth, I-I-I..."
"Sergeant Bill, you are one of the bravest warriors in the Alliance. I truly believe that one day you will repay the Horde for this favor. We will all be proud of you!" Mana felt she had been a bit inappropriate and quickly collected her smile...
"Mm! Captain Mana, you should keep up the good work too!"
"Alright, it's getting late. Let's go back to the camp and rest. We might have a lot to do tomorrow…"
"Okay…" Bill shrugged and walked away, but inside he felt sweet and warm. "Mana smiled so beautifully, I wish she would smile at me like this every day…"
