"Why is she here?" Ty asked, puzzled at the sight of JJ standing outside "Dine n' Masteries."
The lieutenant replied, "I believe it's only right to meet an early sponsor who's assisting with your equipment, food, and other necessities you'll receive while in the Arena."
Ty, curious, questioned, "Wait, just how much has she donated exactly?"
With a knowing smirk, the lieutenant suggested, "Why don't you go ask her yourself? This place is a bit removed from the main kingdom and its affairs, so you probably can go unnoticed as a demon as long as you keep those red eyes of yours off."
As they sat in the car, the lieutenant unlocked and removed Ty's stone cuffs. "Go on and be a sweetheart now. I know you both have feelings for each other anyway."
Ty, cheeks coloring slightly, protested, "I do not, actually. She's just someone I saw crying and wanted to do something nice for."
