Unsurprisingly, after Valyr asked his question, an awkward silence surrounded the two of them.
For a while, Nila looked at the young man with suspicion written all over her face.
After all, she had no idea how Valyr knew something that she had kept a secret for all of her life.
Then again, it was due to that thought that she began to think of the young man's question from another perspective, wondering to herself if Valyr was just blurting out random guesses.
With that in mind, she somewhat calmed down, inwardly sighing in relief as she looked back at the young man with a slight smile.
"What makes you say that?" she asked him with a chuckle. "Do I look like I come from someplace else to you?"
At those words, Valyr shook his head. "You don't."
Seeing his response, Nila inwardly let out yet another sigh of relief, only for her to cough loudly after hearing the young man's next words.
