The room fell into silence for a while.
"You can just call me Arc," Arc said with a smile. "No reason to be so nervous. I'm a Cultivator, just like anyone else now. You're acting familiar and friendly with Gravis, even though his Battle-Strength is immeasurable. I'm just a bit more powerful than Gravis. So, there shouldn't be much of a difference."
Arc was very good with placating feelings of nervousness, but it was still hard to placate feelings of disconnection due to such a massive gap in power.
"Hi, Arc! I'm Ferris!" Ferris shouted as he arrived in front of Arc with an excited smile. "You smell like a good guy! I like you!"
Of course it would be Ferris that took the first step.
"You can smell that I'm a good guy?" Arc asked with a slight chuckle.
"Yeah," Ferris said.
"That's quite an interesting power. It has probably served you well on your journey," Arc said with a smile.
Ferris nodded several times. "Friends are nice!"
