William listened to Elizabeth intently as she spoke, giving all his attention to her. Her life, from what he heard, sounded interesting, and he thought he would ask more about it. However, he would first answer the question he was given.

"No, I don't have any family here," he said, "but I do have a very close friend of mine coming here at the beginning of the next school year. I kind of consider him to be family, and so does my actual family. Even though he's a demon, we get along quite well. Surprisingly so, considering I'm a demigod."

With that, Will went back to practicing his aim, throwing fireballs in the air and making them hit each other.

"A close friend?" Elizabeth's eyes widened with curiosity. William was a great person, so she immediately assumed that whoever this close friend was, he would be the same. Even if William did say that this friend of his was a demon. She didn't have enough time to ponder about it though, hearing that William was a demigod. That was news to her.

"Hold on... Really..?" Then again, it made sense. He was much like the sun itself-- look at him with those balls of golden flames, so picturesque and perfect-- and Elizabeth did think that he belonged in the heavens-- or wherever those higher beings might be residing. The look on her face was distorted with a mixture of surprise, confusion, amazement, and a sudden burst of... inferiority--being a weak human and all? Not exactly, but Elizabeth was at a loss regarding this new fact about William. She was mostly intrigued by how they managed to become friends; then again, they were in a very magical island.

Elizabeth suddenly felt dizzy-- because she used mana a bit too much, because of the heat, or because she was overwhelmed, she didn't know; maybe all-- and she held her head as she tried to steady herself.

"I... I should probably take a rest. Oh, um, I'd love to hear more, William. But any more might need to wait for some other time. The heat is getting to me, I think."

William couldn't help but smile at his friend's reaction. It was quite a different reaction to those he had told before. "Yup!" he said. "Have I not told you? I could've sworn that I did." Upon thinking more, he wasn't that surprised that he didn't. He figured that "What are you?" might be a strange question to ask for some people.

His smile quickly disappeared when Elizabeth put her hands on her head. "That's understandable," he said. "You've done a lot today. At least, it would be a lot for me." He put a hand on her shoulder. "Want me to take you back to your dorm?"

"That would be lovely!" Elizabeth smiled brightly as she accepted the offer. With William around, she wouldn't have to worry about perhaps collapsing on her way back, and his hand on her shoulder was even more reassuring. On normal circumstances she'd be very mindful about physical contact, but she's held on to William too many times by now to really mind. It's just him, though. "Oh, how about telling me a bit more about your friend on our way back? Or about your family, perhaps? Or anything you're comfortable with, really!"

She walked steadily, at least. She was just as enthusiastic as she was moments ago, stubbornly keeping up her liveliness as some kind of rebellion against her naturally weak state. Mana helped her with that; it would be impossible without it.

So, they headed towards the high school dormitories, slowly but surely, with Elizabeth carefully making sure she didn't have to be a burden to William by fainting or the like. She'd be fine again after recovering her energy.
