Rex carried the unconscious Connie, and put her on the desk. He touched her forehead gently with his hand to make sure that she only fainted because she was overheated. He couldn't help but murmur to himself with a smile, "She's just like that lass in the past. She would faint whenever she got too hot."
He retrieved his hand and stared at Connie's face for a while. She had a pretty face, brown hair that was wet with her sweat, white and pink cat ears, and freckles sprinkled across her nose.
"She does look 50-60% like her. Even these freckles…" Rex murmured, a little out of sorts. He only regained his wits after some time, and said with a complex expression, "100 years has passed. I wonder how she is doing now? Given an orc's lifespan, she most probably is no longer here…"
Rex stared at Connie for a while before putting his hand on her shoulder, and used his strong essential energy to disperse the heat in her body.
"Mmm~"
