Izroth's Request, That Which Lies In Wait

...

After speaking for a few minutes, Aurie finally brought up the topic of Menerva's presence.

Besides withholding the more sensitive details, Izroth did not hide anything from Aurie and explained the events that transpired in the Demilitarization Belt.

"Ahahaha! Good, very good! Now I see why Gear and the old man took an interest in you. To be honest, I'm a little jealous of them." Nova stated with a grin.

Aurie sighed, "Please do not encourage his behavior, Lady Nova. You were too reckless, Captain Izroth."

"It's fine, it's fine. A young man his age has to be a bit reckless if they want to accomplish anything worthwhile." Nova said, brushing off the subject.

"Anyhow, it's about time I get going." Nova stood to her feet as she raised her arms above her head and stretched.

"You're leaving already?" Aurie furrowed her brows.

"Ehhh~? What's this? Can it be that you're worried about me?" Nova teased.
