Hello, Little Guy!

Taira liked Shakti.

She was very polite, dutiful, and most importantly, she was quiet.

Once he observed all of the asanbosam, she was the obvious choice to become his vassal. And Aveena felt the same.

As such, he had much more patience with her than he did for other people.

So when she actually did speak or ask him something, he was much more inclined to say yes than normal.

This time was no different.

"Go ahead, Shakti. You may speak freely." Taira smiled.

Shakti lowered her head in unison with Vaal.

"I merely wanted to express my sincerest apologies for failing to discipline our new initiates properly. I've done a poor job as your first bane."

Taira wasn't expecting this to be the focus of this conversation to be about the humans, but it did slightly peak his interest.

"I'm curious… Why do you feel the need to apologize on their behalf?" He leaned forward.
