When Roland was lost in thoughts, Garcia could not wait any more and asked, "I've answered your question. Now, I want to hear your answer."
It took him a few seconds before he made a reply, "Ah, yes, I'll join the association."
"What?" She seemed surprised.
He spread out his hands and said, "I'm willing to join you. Isn't that what you're asking for?"
"Yes... I was just thinking that you..."
"You thought I got cold feet?" He chuckled. "I really just went shopping with my relative in the afternoon. Why can't you trust me? But can I apply to join the association now? You said that the senior is the referee."
Garcia stared at Roland for quite a long time with a serious look, as if she was discerning whether or not this application was sincerely meant. After that she shook her head and explained, "No, she's not a referee. She's my master. I invited her to come to show you how to better use the Force of Nature, but she'll never want to meet you again."
