"How can I assist you, Nina?" he asked as she sat.
"Was that your pal Alix?" she questioned.
"You can say that, sorry, but I didn't know he'd say that about the princess, he was just informing me," he replied.
"Don't worry about it, I understand you don't know much about her, it's fine, and he's right, people will still judge her," she frowned.
"I know, she did nothing," he responded.
"You trust her that much?" she inquired, and he smiled.
"She is assisting me in more ways than one," he said, "what's not to trust?"
"Believe me, I know how you feel; she took me in as well; her most broken was probably Vellon, too," she explained.
"To be honest, he is still a mystery to me; I don't understand, is she that attached to him?" he asked and Nina smiled.
"Not in the way you might think; he is like a little brother to her; he sees her in a completely different way than the rest of the world does; they have a strong bond that hasn't been broken after all these years," she responded.
