Loneliness was displayed in Ivory's eyes as soon as she saw Sigmund at the side. She remembered how he rejected her that night, but she shook her head to convince herself that they had already agreed not to get awkward. She dispelled her magic then stood up and extended her hand to help Lycus stand up.
The young man gladly took it and shoved the dirt off of his clothes. He closely looked at Ivory's body to check her wounds, and he confirmed that she had healed herself completely, "You're amazing, Lady Ivory."
"You almost killed me, what do you think I'd do?" she said in a sarcastic tone. "And my reward please. I want something."
"Ah, my promise, yes," Lycus scratched the back of his head. "Don't worry, I haven't forgotten. What is it?"
"I want you to… tell me more about my father."
He responded, "I apologize, but he asked me to keep his identity a secret for now-"
