Away from Evian's room and the amorous activities that had begun, the duo of Gillert and Gryon met still in their battle wear, sharing drinks they had managed to score from the Kalkao Knights' celebrations.
"So that's it?" Gryon said with a sigh, "*Grunt* I won't lie, I'm disappointed. I expected there would be more fight involved."
"You heard Evian," Gillert said after he dropped the goblet he had raised to his lips, "He said it wasn't over."
"Bah, don't give me hope," Gryon said as he waved him off with a small smile.
Gillert raised a brow in mild confusion,
"Don't give you hope yat you might not die?"
"Die? Come on, those Beasts were nothing... Ripping them apart was hardly even satisfying."
"And the Beasts Commander Zayda fought?" Gillert asked.
