Passing By... and Spilling Truths

Eratz's eyebrows rised in surprise.

"Ice girl? What ice girl?"

Rex gave him a puzzled look, then scoffed lightly.

"Yeah, a special person, she's still angry because she lost that match in Aurelia."

Eratz furrowed his brow, thinking hard.

"Ice girl... Aurelia..." His eyes widened as the realization hit him. "Sia?"

Rex's face lit up in surprise.

"Oh? Sia Verizion, yeah! You know her?"

Eratz nodded, still a bit taken aback.

"Yeah, I know her. And you too?"

Rex gave a nervous chuckle, his wings fluttering slightly as if shivering at the memory.

"Not a lot. I mean, who would? She's terrifying when she's angry, especially after that defeat, it was unbearable for weeks."

Eratz's eyes narrowed as he pieced it together. The way Rex had been comparing Raijinara to another beast, the familiarity he'd noticed... It suddenly clicked. Sia's ace, Nivalys.
