Valentine is in considerably better shape than Roland and me, but even so...he still has his own share of minor injuries - mostly cuts, bruises and sprains.
His expression is much brighter when he hears Zane is to be compensated.
"Phew..." Valentine wiped the back of his hand over his brow.
"The rewards will be pretty great if you get Zane on board to hunt for the Tear. That was seriously the smartest move you could possibly make, Lucas. You're brilliant!"
He gestures to Celeste, who hangs back uncertainly, peeking out from behind her fringe. "She's okay, by the way. Her cuts were shallow. But she sprained her ankle fussing just a bit ago and won't be walking on it until it heals."
The young mage looks as though she is about to faint.
Valentine hummed thoughtfully. "Hey...uh, Celeste. Do you recognize that name, by any chance? The man with the mask? Did your master ever talk about him?"
