Fifine sat elegantly on the steps of the doorway, watching Ahtal nearby carrying wood, and asked:
"Lord Ahtal, how did you come to know Princess Letixia?"
"I happened to see her being chased and went to help," Xi Mu replied casually, arranging the wood properly and igniting it with a flame from his fingertips.

Fifine revealed a hint of confusion, not sure whether this Knight was just cold by nature or had an issue specifically with her:
"Lord Ahtal, do you dislike me?"
"No, I'm just not good with words," Xi Mu explained perfunctorily. He had no interest in Fifine, who was just an unimportant NPC after all.
