Even though Ethan was exhausted by his life in Atlantis' prison, his voice visibly carried some apprehension towards Delphine and he thought more about her energy than his.
"Thank you, Delphine. Your strength and love give me solace in this darkness. Promise me you'll take care of yourself" Ethan replied.
Delphine's voice trembled with emotion. "I promise, Ethan. I'll protect myself while I'm here and you can't guide me. Please, stay strong and take care of your energy. Be careful, I don't want anything bad to happen to you."
Their telepathic conversation was drawing to a close and Delphine held onto Ethan's fading presence in her mind, imprinting his care and resilience within her heart.
She withdrew her focus, showing that she was going to cut the connection.
Then, she took a moment to center herself, grounding her energy.
She clutched the grimoire, her source of strength and knowledge since that moment, and promised herself to do everything she can to help Ethan.
