"So you're telling me there was a kid among our opponents?" Catherine asked incredulously in the middle of the valley, listening to Vivian's report, "And she's an illusionist at that?"
"Not just any illusionist, a very affluent one," Pannis interjected playfully, "Astoundingly so."
Catherine shot Pannis a warning look before continuing, "Anyway, you've done well. But we should share this with Freya. Maybe she might have some insights. Pannis, you're okay with this, right?"
"Uh, sure, no problem," Pannis answered momentarily taken aback, "Why would there be a problem?"
"Didn't you mention something about keeping some things a secret?" Catherine retorted irritatedly, "I, of course, presume that this might need to be confidential as well."
"No need for that. I haven't disclosed anything that needs to remain confidential; you guys don't even know about it," Pannis responded smoothly, "So feel free to share."
