Eve looks around her and sees nothing but rusty Nasod parts, of which are of no use to her. Even so, she continues attempting to look anywhere but at the pair of magenta eyes she can feel boring through the back of her head. She does not know why he keeps staring at her, and she does not want to find out.
"I heard you were coming." Add answers the question floating around in her mind, as if reading it like an open book. "Rena told me last night." He continues as she does not answer.
Rena heard us? Eve thinks to herself, still not looking at him. Moby and Remy have long left her side to hover by him. She wonders what is it about him that makes them fawn over him so much, aside from the fact that he is very likely a Nasod genius. A ton of questions pop up in her head, occupying her mind as she continues to draw out the silence between them.
"I guessed you'd be here to gather Nasod parts." He adds, making her frown and finally turn to look at him, seeing an amused smirk on his face. "You wouldn't be able to carry them by yourself, right?"
Eve's frown deepens and she glares at him slightly, squinting her eyes. This causes him to raise his palms in front of him in defence, telling her he meant no harm. She still has no trust in him, but decides to let it slide this once, since he had chosen to come on this dungeon run just to help her.
"Leviathan and Ignis." She says, looking ahead of them, wondering which way would be right.
"Let's go this way." Add points to the right, though they are not able to see very far due to the thick fog. Eve brings up her arm, and with a push of a button on her wrist, projects a holographic screen, showing her their location and the weather, because Eve hates the rain.
He starts walking and she scurries after him, not wanting to be left alone in this fog without Moby and Remy, since they had already followed him. After a bit of walking, they come to a crossroad. The road splits into two, one seems to go up a slight hill, and the other one continues onto flat ground.
"I think they might be on flat ground." Add says while gesturing to the left.
"Will we be fit to fight?" Eve asks him, worried after being out of combat for such a long time. She also realises that she has no clue about his fighting skills, and proceeds to fear for her own safety.
"Don't tell me you can't fight one little Nasod, your highness." He smirks, making her blood boil and cheeks go red.
They continue on to the grasslands of Altera Plains. The fog makes it difficult to see what is around them, and the moss that covers everything does not make it any easier. After a bit of walking, Add holds Eve back as she stares up at him questioningly.
"Don't step on that." He says, still looking forward. Realising how close his face is, she takes a small leap backwards, before seeing that she had almost kicked an electrifying tong. Out of nowhere, Remy is knocked down into the ground and they turn to the noise in panic. They see little Nasods scurrying about in a cluster as Remy hovers back up into the air by Eve, taking his battle stance with Moby.
"Nasod Oro." Add stares at them with a look of confusion. "What on earth is causing them to still function like this?"
All of a sudden, the Nasod mice rush towards him and he blocks them using his summoned Nasod Dynamos, though the impact still causes him to fall backwards. Eve rushes towards him to make sure he is okay, but stops in her tracks as she looks up in front of her. At the same time, Add's eyes also widen at the huge red Nasod before his eyes.
