"Master? Did you lose connection again?" Kayn's voice, tinny and laced with static, crackled through Morwen's earpiece.

He slipped away from the media frenzy and into a secluded corner.

"Yes. Seems I need to move down further for a stable signal."

Morwen's voice held a hint of annoyance.

Kayn pressed a tremor of excitement in his tone.

"For praise like that, she must've been amazing! Guess you only have eyes for the best, Master!"

hmph...

Morwen's response was a dismissive grunt.

"Any other standouts?" Kayn asked.
