Felix frowned, "A basilisk creature… very uncommon. I think… I heard about it somewhere."
Arthur glanced at him. "Where? Where did you hear it?"
Felix turned his face toward him. "Are you ready to travel?"
"…"
Felix added, "Of course, you cannot bring your wife."
Arthur remarked, "Let's finish this soon."

"What? You will be gone for two days?!" Veronica did not expect that.
She was talking to Arthur using her communication device. She started carrying it in case of an emergency.
Arthur explained shortly, "Felix said he knows someone who can tell us about the basilisk ring. We are going to find out together."
Veronica was surprised as she didn't expect Arthur to go and meet Felix. "Oh, you are with Felix. Is he… all right?"
"Did Merlin tell you about something?" Arthur could guess.
Veronica didn't hide. "Yes, Lord Alexander is dead. Felix killed him."
"It's true. He is alive. He will be okay."
