"I told you," Bil continued, cutting off both Nelphy and Zac, "I won't be participating in this discussion. At least now you have something to talk about."
A silent seal was left on the bar as Bil walked away and started packing away everything on display.
Zac and Nelphy were left staring at each other with a good hint of what to say but too much sudden shock to act on that hint. It took a minute of awkward silence to get someone to talk.
"... So you're… Lord Frantoch's son?"
"... Yeah," Zac shrugged and answered. "... And you're… really their daughter?"
Glancing at Bil, Nelphy realized what Bil was up to and sighed, "... Yeah. I kinda figured it out on accident though…"
"Does Jash know?" Zac asked.
Nelphy shook her head. "No. He'd freak out and draw too much attention if he found out as he is now… Bil and I were going to wait till he figured it out. But I don't know much about my… parents."
