Mark was still kneeling beside Alice with one hand on the ground to keep from losing his balance.
'The continuous mana use is taking its toll,' Mark thought as he felt the ground beneath his knees seem to shift almost imperceptibly.
Mark let out a quiet sigh as he tried to maintain his balance without making it too obvious how bad he was feeling.
And then he felt a hand settle on his shoulder.
'Huh?'
It was Rose, standing behind him with Mark's clothes folded in one hand.
Mark hadn't heard her approach.
He didn't know if it was because Rose moved silently by nature or because his head was too foggy to register sounds properly.
Most likely both.
"Please get dressed, Master," Rose said, looking at him with a concern she was trying to hide. "You could catch a cold."
Mark looked at the clothes in Rose's hand, then at himself.
'Ah, right… I'm still naked.'
