Too good of an offer

"What did you do?" Nerys and Ember asked, sensing something was off.

They could see Reign, but they couldn't feel his presence at all.

"Nothing! I was just testing a new ability I learned from eating this glass," 

A hint of realization crossed Ember's face as she recalled their conversation back in the Trial Ground.

"Right, I forgot you can gain powers from whatever you eat. Please don't tell me you were planning on eating us too," she asked, her cautious gaze fixed on him.

"Of course not! We're allies for now. Our enemy is the same, after all," he replied, trying to sound convincing.

"By the way, if you don't mind me asking, why are you so adamant about saving the world? You've lived for so long; why bother?"

He quickly shifted the topic . 

"It's none of your concern," Ember shrugged, so he didn't press further. He only wanted to divert the conversation, so they would stop firing questions at him.
