Elder Tilrith gazed ahead at Rex and was stunned.
She could feel Rex's fingers trembling slightly as he gripped her shoulders.
And from the way Rex avoided making eye contact, keeping his gaze down to the soil below, it seemed he was serious. Just then, Elder Tilrith, shook her head, recovering from her daze, "Having to fight you, I didn't expect you to use this kind of trick. But I saw through it, you will not fool me"
Instead of answering, Rex tightened his grip on her shoulders, "Let's abort this"
"I changed my mind, I'll take my chances" He added while trying his best to remain calm.
"Eh...?" Elder Tilrith was stunned again. 'Is he being for real?'
Despite her skepticism, that was washed away once Rex lifted his head up to look at her.
