Lightbringer's tone softened, and there was a hint of understanding in its response. "I know, Kye. I just wish you would confide in me more, so we can face these challenges together."
Kye nodded, realizing that Lightbringer was right. He had a tendency to shoulder his burdens alone, and it wasn't always for the best.
But well, what could he do? He didn't like to burden people with his worries, and Lightbringer wasn't an exception.
"I promise, Lightbringer, I'll try to be more open with you," he said as sincerely as possible. "We're a team, after all."
The sword seemed to brighten at Kye's words, and its presence in his mind felt reassuring rather than intrusive. It was good to have Lightbringer back on his side, especially when he had so many unanswered questions and uncertainties ahead.
'Anyway, where did the woman, or rather the Phoenix, go?' Kye asked. 'Surely she didn't leave me alone, did she?'
