"I hope both of you are okay! Thank you very much for your help!" the old man expressed with utmost gratitude while shaking their hands.
Drystan waves off the part of the compliment meant for him, saying that she's the one who did all the work. He appears to be amazed by this. Not used to this kind of attention, Ercilia only stays quiet and keeps her head down.
"My, how impressive…" he went on to say.
"What a noble thing to do. I never thought a pretty lady like you can be that deadly."
"Oh, it's no big deal…" she told him timidly.
"I just did what any concerned citizen would do. It's my pleasure to be of help."
"Still, thank you. What you did is exemplary. The same goes with your beau – going after his beloved like a dashing knight in shining armor and all. Oh, young love."
Drystan lets out an awkward cough while Ercilia looks away in embarrassment.
