That afternoon, I was in the underground headquarters reviewing more contracts when Damian announced another visitor.
"Seraphina Valorheart. Again."
"She's becoming a regular." I set aside the paperwork. "Send her in."
Seraphina entered, this time she's in casual training clothes rather than armor. She seems more relaxed. And it must have been a eliberate effort on her part since she wanted this to be a conversation, not a confrontation.
"Hadeon Ravana. I hope I'm not interrupting."
"Just paperwork and I'm always happy to be interrupted from paperwork." I gestured to a chair. "What brings you back so soon?"
"Questions." She sat, her posture still warrior-straight despite casual clothing. "I've been thinking about our duel. About you. About... things."
"That's refreshingly direct."
