Sylas had barely turned away from the petrified Efivara when another Heaven-wide notification rolled through the Beast Heaven, its voice carrying farther than the ordinary system prompts that had followed him since entering this place.
The announcement declared that Sylas Grimblade had entered a Frenzy, and the bounty on his death had increased from one hundred times the points he had accumulated to ten thousand times that amount.
Sylas glanced at the words once before letting them fade from his vision, treating the escalation with about as much interest as he would have given a change in weather.
Nosphaleen noticed the notification too, but from the smile on her face, it might as well have been a restaurant menu hovering somewhere in the distance. Her attention was focused almost entirely on Sylas' hand, which she had taken the moment they started walking, her fingers sliding between his while she quietly enjoyed how completely his palm enveloped her own.
