Ely's eyes shimmered with admiration. "Your methods are… remarkably strategic."
Rava grinned. "I like it. Less effort, more results."
Mira studied Lux for a moment longer, a faint smile tugging at her lips. "You fight like a king."
Lux met her gaze, confidence unwavering. "I fight like someone who intends to win."
Corvus, perched on his shoulder, ruffled his feathers. "And here I thought my job was degrading. That soldier just replaced all of us."
Lux smirked. "Don't worry. You're still my favorite unpaid employee."
"I demand a raise."
"You're paid in existential purpose."
Corvus sighed dramatically. "I hate this job."

Lux adjusted his cuffs again, eyes gleaming with anticipation.
