"So, what you're saying is you want to know who Scylla is, right?" Eli inquired, his gaze shifting to Pearl who lay silently on his lap.
Pearl nodded wordlessly, her thoughts drifting as she listened to Eli's voice.
Eli's attention turned to the crackling flames, his hands absentmindedly ruffling Pearl's and Arlyne's hair. Arlyne had already succumbed to sleep, her breaths steady and even..... Perfect?
"What does your Master look like?" Eli questioned softly, his words barely audible above the crackling fire.
"Well, she's beautiful, and... her expression is unreadable," Pearl murmured, her voice barely a whisper.
"I see..." Eli's response was barely a breath, his mind already contemplating the implications before arriving at one question,
"What kind of elemental power does she possess?" Eli pressed on, his curiosity piqued.
"Hmmm... Ice," Pearl responded with certainty.
"Ice only?"
"Yes"
