Four Pillars: Making Amends

For a minute or so, Valyr could only look at Faulus in silence, wondering whether or not to believe his words. After all, from his perspective, it seemed that Faulus had just given in to his intrusive thoughts the previous night.

With that in mind, Valyr began to wonder whether Faulus was just pulling his leg or playing a joke on him just to lighten up the mood.

"Are you… are you perhaps joking?" Though, since the alchemist would not tell something like that to him if there wasn't the possibility of it being true, Valyr decided to send a message back to Faulus for confirmation.

In response, Faulus looked at Valyr and faintly shook his head before sending a reply. "What reason would I even have to come up with such an elaborate joke?"

'True.' Reading through the alchemist's response, Valyr wryly smiled.
