He wasn't expecting that question from a Faery he just met. In truth, Ashton was also slightly embarrassed because he had actually forgotten about it altogether.
Ashton inhaled and said: "I'm a Demon Slayer," he blurted out. "That's why there's so much Demonic Resentment on me. I forgot to cleanse it off."
Lyra's eyes widened in surprise. "Really?" she said. "We have Demon Slayers in this kingdom too. Maybe we could help you."
Ashton was taken aback. He had never met anyone who could understand his line of work. "You have Demon Slayers here?" he said.
Lyra nodded. "Yes, we do. And we also know how important it is to cleanse yourself of Demonic Resentment. It can be a heavy burden to bear."
