Quick, Tell This Old Lady

Elder Aika seemed to have completely forgotten what she had just done and all her attention was turned to the fluttering snow owl in the skies.

The Hidden Blade Sect was still stewing in their own rage. Some of them even thought of shooting the bird out of the skies, something that would have been extraordinarily easy for any one of them, but when they thought about how easily a Fragmented Sky God had just died, and the fact Elder Aika seemed to be beaming toward this bird, none of them seemed to want to take the risk, at least not until they regained their numbers advantage.

"Oh, Little Air, you're here too. This is wonderful."

Elder Aika couldn't be bothered to pronounce Selheira's full name and had long since settled upon this nickname instead. She immediately seemed doubly excited when it was both Ryu and Selheira who appeared at once, almost as though she was greeting her own grandchildren.
