"Where's Xan?" Ares asked.

"Xan had left in the night," the Roaring Trident responded. She stared up at Ares, staring intensely into his eyes. "He wished to remain alone. He asked me to give you a message when you awoke."

Ares nodded.

"He wishes to speak with you about certain matters, alone, and after you meet with the Reptai."

Ares sighed. "Right, well…" Ares shook his head. Why exactly after the Reptai? It worked well for him, but the request itself was a little suspect. 'Well, no point dwelling on it. Whatever the reason, I'll figure it out one day.'

The Roaring Trident then left, returning back to her post.

Ares yawned and stretched. He decided to go for a walk through Rivea, and after three steps, felt so awkward he decided to instead bathe quickly and then go to meet with the Reptai.

Once he was done with his bath, noting that Lana was on her way to extend it, he swiftly got up and changed. He smiled towards her and then exchanged a quick kiss.
