"I want you to make peace with Lilith!" Ellie repeated towards Detra who just kept looking at the girl as if she asked her to dance the Macarena with her hands tied behind her back.
"You're serious...?" the woman replied.
"Very serious! You two are on the same side now! You don't have to like each other, but you need to at least try to move past your mutual grudge so we can become a proper team!"
Detra was just speechless. She gazed at Marcus and Lilith who seemed to be just as surprised as she was. She would often forget that Ellie was just nine-years-old and would spout nonsense like this as if life was a fairy tale where people could solve their problems just by talking with each other.
