"Thanks for showing up." Helix said with a genuine expression.
"Of course, boy! I love being roped into your reckless power plays!" A mocking voice replied.
"So please invite me to bail you out every time you make one."
"I'll make sure to do that, Master." Helix joked.
Tilo gave Helix a murderous gaze, but his facial relaxed.
"You know, somehow the stress you're causing me here is mildly soothing." Tilo laughed.
Helix gave Tilo a quizzical expression laced with amusement.
"How so?"
Tilo gave Helix a mocking expression laced with equal amusement.
"After I stopped training you, my stress levels dropped dangerously low." He replied in amazement.
"I never realized life could be so calm, peaceful, and dreadfully lifeless."
Helix and Tilo burst into laughter after that.
The two were walking to the arena on the [day of rest] to prepare for Tyrene's celebration of life.
