"Amazing," Rania couldn't help herself and uttered those words as she continued to gaze at Elliot and the Griffin. Then, in her mind, she thought, "This … it's the same as back then, when I first met him. I was conflicted if I should show kindness to an enemy race, the same race that conquered our planet but … when I saw him - even with his mask on - I felt ... that I could trust him. Weird but, yes, that's exactly how I felt ... for someone I barely know. Is this magic, too?"
Elliot, on the other hand, was enjoying his time cuddling the Griffin. He let out a brief, but gentle smile towards the Griffin as he healed its wounds. And the Griffin caressed Elliot's cheeks with the smooth side of its beak.
"Kuuuuu …," The Griffin gave a satisfied expression after Elliot finished healing its wounds.
"Next time, you should learn how to receive some help, before throwing a fit," Elliot smirked and patted the head of the Griffin.
