"Lord Ethan, what is it?"
A faint trace of anxiety flickered across Eluna's face.
At Ethan's gesture, she followed him out of the cave.
As they walked a short distance from the entrance, Eluna kept her head down, following closely behind Ethan.
So closely, in fact, that when Ethan stopped abruptly, she bumped into his back.
"Eluna, you seem a bit distracted," Ethan remarked, turning to face her.
Avoiding Ethan's gaze, Eluna murmured, "Perhaps I'm just weary."
"Is that so, Eluna? Are you keeping something from me?"
Faced with Ethan's suspicion, Eluna slightly trembled.
Taking a deep breath, as if she had been preparing for this moment, she said, "Lord Ethan, there is something I need to confide to you privately."
"Deep within the cave, the heart of Devourer Oksd still beats."
