"Have you calmed down now?" I asked Eirlia.
She nodded. "Yes, thank you."
(She was the one who was listening to us earlier, Adel. Do you think she's telling the truth?)
(I'm not a lie detector, but she seems to be telling the truth. Maybe her love for her brothers is why she lowered her pride and even asked us for help. She might tell us about other things that happened in this village Eldri Naela hasn't told us.)
(You're right. We could even ask her what truly happened to her brothers. You talk to her, and I'll keep examining the communication device to see if I can make it work.)
(You just don't want to talk to her, don't you? I can already see that you're slowly stepping away from us.)
Sir Lukius avoided my eyes and swung the communication device around like he was looking for a signal. "Wow~ I can't believe I made such an astounding device. Maybe I should look for a signal over there." He may be a powerful Archmage, but he has terrible acting skills.
