Leaving the subject of chasing hels behind in favor for the outpost that creeps up on them, Asta’s attention abruptly shifts back to the Maverick as his steps slow, matching pace with him. “Yes.” He says softly, a muscle feathering in his jaw to hear that it seemed normal to the Maverick aside from the intruder. And for that, Asta can fill in the blanks. “When Flora told me she had become a demigod, we were all there in the Peepholes following a light. Melita fell asleep during it.” He pauses, brows pinching slightly as he realizes in the excitement of becoming a demigod he’d forgotten to mention a part of it.
“Dygra has noticed it as well. And while she was asking me to become her demigod I suddenly started falling asleep.” He winces, because it wasn’t his finest moment obviously. “That, paired with the Peepholes and the strange light and exhaustion.. Perhaps it is originating there?” He pauses as they reach the outpost and he reluctantly lets Danta go to slip around to the inside edge of it, a box beneath that he rummages through and fights off a couple of crabs in the process to procure the bottle of fountain water.
Returning to his side, he hands the bottle to him with eyes that are still only focused on ensuring the Maverick is okay, looking him over once more. “Drink up, darling. We will get you right as rain.”
