- He is like that. Although it must have cost him so much.

Elinire could hear the strangeness in Kleb's voice, a voice she had never heard from him before.

The guardian gasped.

- What? 

- He showed me.

Kleb shook his head, dismayed and starting to get angry.

- He had no right to do that.

- He showed it to me because I asked him to. And I think you already know, and even I know, that he's the kind of person who refuses to go against people's wishes. He showed it to me because it was my story too. 

Kleb hesitated, not knowing what to say or do.

- Elinire...I...

- I had to know Kleb, no matter what the cost, just like that zeog, who also wanted to save us no matter what he had to pay for it.
