"Good evening, Basil! I hope you still remember me." Clovis, who returned with Xiu Li in tow, greeted. He had just successfully saved Xiu Li from the predators. "Good evening, Brother Basil! You look great!" Xiu Li chimed in, while admiring Basil's appearance.
Basil smiled, and said softly, "Thank you." Looking at the unfolding scene curiously, Iliana asked, "Are you two perhaps...?" Clovis sighed in helplessness. He didn't understand Iliana's obsession toward 'that' kind of thing among men.
"Yes, we are." Basil's answer made Clovis gasped in surprise. "We are acquainted." Upon hearing this, Clovis and Iliana sighed in relief. Bewildered, Clovis sent his gaze at Iliana.
