Tala- She's an independent person, she's not relying on anyone to live her life. Also, she's not idiotic, he found her interesting to talk with. Above all, he likes her personality. She's driving, vicious, and ruthless- she's similar to him.
It's like they were destined to meet. How astonishing, it was that he found out that she killed her sister. But was not even noticed by everyone. As she moves to the shadow, she steps higher to her goal. What a scary woman.
Lapil had finished conversing with Tala at the falls when she was called by a slave. He was now alone at the border of Datu Pita's banwa and on the neighboring territory where the first daughter went missing. After the Rajah would come here to offer condolences, he had to head back to the puod and proceed with his voyage. His goal to become the greatest conqueror of the sea must carry on, surpassing his father's legacy. His endeavors were only at their beginning.
