"As of now?" I tried to reconfirm.
"Yeah, as of now," Verina confirmed.
"You're a valuable kilnalan with great potential, a dependable ohrtender, a creative Dungeon and Devil player, and a surprisingly nice friend to have."
"That is… a little bit too positive, especially coming out from you."
"I deliberately removed all of my negative impressions of you." I snickered. "Want to hear it?"
"No thanks."
"As I thought."
I also didn't mention that having someone to be here and preventing me from fighting the nightmare alone was already a great positive in my eyes. But I don't want to admit to that.
"It's my time to ask you a question," I said. "What is your opinion of Lupina?"
"You don't want to hear my opinion of you?"
"Your opinion of me is already clear as the river's reflection goes."
