While King Jaren was speaking with Mana, Jules had dragged Raven away to have a word with him. First, Jules took Raven to where Fox, Vanilla and Bella were waiting, and the four of them spent some time working on the new designs that "desperately" needed Raven's attention.
It turned out to be a pretty simple affair for Raven, the genius that he was.
Surrounded by the lavish praise from his dearest friends, Raven flushed a little – and understood that this was just an excuse that these four had come up with to cheer him up after Mana's episode. There was nothing here that couldn't have been managed by Fox himself, let alone the combined brains of all of them!
"Thank you," Raven said softly. "I feel much better now."
"Oh, great!" Fox said, his shoulders slumping with relief. "I don't know how many other problems I could have come up with in these designs for you to solve so that you could cheer up!"
And that let the cat out of the bag completely.
