"I don't know…" Damian replied, starting to eat his food.
"Oh… Okay…" Grace's face showed a flicker of confusion, but she didn't press further.

"That's Lucian Goldilocks.. She is impressive.." Grace said, noticing Einar watching Lucian's group intently. Her face betrayed a mix of complicated emotions as she spoke.

"Yeah, it's just as mysterious as the first time I saw it," Grace replied. Sam and Evrin glanced briefly toward Lucian before returning to their lunch.
