The night went by slowly and Grey and Klaus spent their time going through the City. There were a few places worth visiting, so they went there to spend their time. 

Since moving to the Aurora Continent, Klaus had stopped most of the things he usually does. Grey was a little happy for him since it meant Klaus wouldn’t bother him with those things again. All they do now is enjoy good wine and food in each others’ company. 

In an Inn. 

Grey and Klaus were eating while talking about the meeting they just left. Klaus soon changed the topic. 

“Grey, you’ve never had a girlfriend, I’m starting to get worried about you.” Klaus looked at his friend worriedly, “What’s the problem? Is it that you don’t find beautiful girls? I can find one for you if you want.” 

Grey didn’t expect Klaus to bring this up all of a sudden and almost choked on the wine he was drinking. 

“For now, I’m not interested in that.” He replied after a light cough, “And I haven’t found the one yet.” 

“How will you find the one when you already have the mentality of not wanting anyone?” Klaus used his index finger to hit Grey’s head as if telling him to think, and then added, “You’re too stuck up. All you do is train, train, and train.” 

“The few times you’re not training, you’re either going on a competition or an expedition to increase your strength.” 

“You’re too focused on trying to grow too strong that you’re losing sight of the beauty of life. Have fun, there’s no harm in that.”

Grey looked at Klaus and thought hard about it, to be honest, Klaus wasn’t wrong. It’s not that he hasn’t seen beautiful girls, or girls with good values, but he was still too stuck up with wanting to grow strong enough to protect everyone that he didn’t want to give himself a shot at love. 

It was a beautiful thing, but at the moment, he didn’t think it was meant for him. 

“You don’t understand. I have goals I need to achieve.” 

“Boohoo! You didn’t awaken your elements like others and was late by a few years. That’s all in the past. Look at you! You’re literally the dream of every girl, yet here you are, single to the core.” Klaus knew Grey’s reasons, but he didn’t think it was enough to deny himself a good life. 

“You’ve grown so much. What more do you want?” He asked. 

“I’m someone a lot of people want dead.” Grey said, he took a sip of the drink and said, “You said it yourself back there, what if they wanted to kill you just because you’re friends with me?” 

“Wouldn’t it be selfish of me to put someone in danger just because I want love?” 

“What if they kill her? What would you want me to do?” Grey asked question after question which Klaus had no answers to. 

“You see, it’s not that I don’t want that, but I can not bring myself to do that. I’ve thought hard about this, and to be honest, I’m praying the day I fall in love with someone doesn’t come any time soon.” 

“Heh! You won’t be able to escape it.” Klaus scoffed and added, “People like you are the ones who tend to love the most. The moment you find someone, you’d love them wholly. It’s good, but given your current thoughts, it’s not something I’ll advise.” 

“So, why are you bringing it up?” Grey asked. 

“You’re too lonely.” Klaus smirked before looking at him with disdain, “You’re already past twenty-five and still haven’t had any sort of intimacy with a woman. To be honest, I’m disappointed.” 

Grey wanted to speak when Klaus cut him off again. 

“I’m sure even Void has been with another cat.” 

Void, who was by the side eating, was stunned when he heard his name in the conversation the duo were having. 

He raised his head to look at the duo, and his small mouth which was filled to the brim with food was funny to look at. 

“See, he can’t even deny it.” Klaus pointed out. 

Void looked at Klaus as if wanting to say something, but food was still in his mouth, and he was even too surprised to say anything. 

Grey looked at Void oddly, and then thought of something. 

“Oh right, I have something for you.” 

The juice he got from that tree which according to the man had aphrodisiac in it came to mind. He didn’t want that, and he was sure Klaus would most definitely want it. 

When he explained the uses of the juice to Klaus, Klaus was grinning from teeth to teeth. 

“Give it to me.” He stretched out his hand, after a while he said, “No wait, you’ll keep some for yourself. Its uses are not that bad. You know you need to comprehend the elements and increase their grades.” 

“Why don’t you try using it? Don’t worry, I’ll make sure you get to relieve yourself. There are tons of girls in this place.” He tried to convince Grey into using the juice. 

Grey wasn’t that foolish, so he naturally wouldn’t fall for that. 

Klaus shrugged when he saw it, “At least I tried. But just so you know, if your dad was like you, you wouldn’t have been born. Think about that while you train.”

Grey wanted to speak but shut his mouth, there was nothing for him to say. Arguing with Klaus would not bring him any benefits, and Klaus would most likely win the argument anyway.

Void just stared at the duo, unsure of how to react to Klaus’ statement. 

When Klaus noticed he was still staring at him, “What? Was I lying?l

Void swallowed his meal and focused on eating and drinking his wine. 

Those close to them who heard their conversation looked at the duo and the cat eating seriously, unsure of what to do with the information they unwillingly obtained.
