"I want you to help me swear a Boundless Oath," Xavier spoke after a long moment of silence.
Saffron had been shocked a couple of times in the same say. She was shocked when she discovered Xavier had a bloodflame, when he asked for her help, and when he seemed ready to murder her for suggesting that he needed psychosis suppressants.
However, nothing could prepare her for the sheer horror of his actual request.
This time, she was completely petrified. If it were possible, she would have turned into a stone at his words. She tried to decipher his words because there was no way he meant that he wanted to take a Boundless Oath.
"I am sorry," She said in an almost timid voice that was so unlike her. "I do not think I understand what you mean. I thought you said a Boundless Oath, but you probably meant a Blood Pact, right?"
