After playing around for a while, the trio finally got to the serious matters they needed to address.
Looking at Elara, Veer asked, "You sure you got the permission?"
Elara flashed a long white paper with the Dean's signature at the bottom. Grinning, she said, "Of course, I got it. She's my auntie, so why wouldn't she allow me something so trivial?"
Her words didn't convince Veer, who simply continued to look at her. She threw her hands up, saying, "Fine! She only gave the permission because this park is basically trash for the Academy. In her words, she's just giving another trash to you."
"Hehe, trash can be quite useful, you know," Veer grinned, not minding Freya's words at all.
He was grateful to her, as she was protecting him from the shadows. After all, he had not encountered any assassination attempts yet, which was proof in itself.
