"How can you be so good? So, are you really okay?"
Baybars stood at the top of the steps under the stone-arch, watching Mel sleepily stare at him. Shocked, on the contrary, Mel couldn't make sense of what he was saying and started yelling again after the Blessing of the Wild had left the Dark Energy body he had been under the influence of almost all night.
"Kapo, I told you I'm fine! What exactly did you not understand about that?"
A blood-red halo flashed around his pupils, and it wouldn't have been good for Baybars if the conversation went any further, but the Kapo of the Thirteenth Ward grabbed Mel's collar and pushed it against the wall at the side of the stairs.
"Don't tell the others that. They try to make you talk by torturing you here until they find out what happened to Kulus. Pretend like you're crazy; I don't think it'll be too hard!"
