The lady looked at Aren's reaction to the name and let out a small giggle.
"Don't fret," she said, before taking another sip of her tea. "I know who you are," she stated.
Aren looked at her with fear and caution, but for some reason, his mind screamed at him to not even attempt to attack her or try anything risky here.
'Who is this lady, and how does she know my name from Earth? I've never once mentioned the name Nathan in this world,' he thought.
"Come and sit already. The questions filling your mind can be answered if we have a talk," she said.
Aren gritted his teeth and clenched his jaw. He took a step forward. He was already thinking about all the countermeasures that he could use here if things went south.
He arrived at the table, staring at the chair made available for him for a few seconds, and then finally sat down.
"Wow, that took you a long time. You aren't really trusting, are you?" she asked, but he didn't give a reply.
