"Whoever he is, he's quite skilled at concealing his aura and presence," Crei remarked, looking at the young man as well. "If he chose to hide himself, it would take a while even for us to detect him."
Thorn scowled after hearing his uncle's positive remark about Kyran. But he ultimately chose not to comment and remained silent.
Crei noticed his nephew's behavior and his suspicion about how and where the latter met the young man only increased. The fact that Lord Aillos asked his nephew not to tell anyone further confirmed this.
"I get that you can't say where you know him, but you can at least tell us his name, right?" Anahita chimed in while looking at Thorn.
Seemingly annoyed at being pestered about Kyran, Thorn begrudgingly replied, "Null. That's his name."
"Null," Anahita repeated with a playful smile on her face. "Is it a play on his ability to conceal himself?"
