"You remember Pearney, don't you?" the little green winged snake asked without waiting for his reply.
Ivan nodded slightly, feeling an ominous premonition stirring in his heart.
"She had been in contact with others through the Secret Method Seal. Could it be you?"
The following words confirmed Ivan's guess; his movements had indeed been noticed. No wonder he hadn't been able to contact Pearney in the past few days.
In a rush, he explained, "Lahr, after you captured Pearney and brought her back, I accidentally found a Secret Method Seal Bead in the dormitory and was able to contact her. I just wanted to glean some information from her. I hadn't intended to do anything else, and I didn't do anything excessive."
If he didn't clarify the situation completely, the risk of being mistaken as Billerie's accomplice would mean big trouble for him.
The little green winged snake didn't make things difficult: "I know, otherwise you wouldn't be standing here unharmed."
