Vespera paused, a smile returning to her lips. "Loyalty... that is not a word I'm very familiar with, little light," she said, watching his reaction closely.
Aurelion continued to look at her with the same unwavering seriousness. The weight of his gaze seemed to make Vespera's own expression turn serious in return.
"You are a valuable source of information, little light, yes. But what makes you truly interesting is your attitude. The look on your face when I held a knife to your throat is still in my mind.I still remember what you meant that time..."
She took a step closer to him, her eyes locking onto his. "I will not betray you, little light. And I will not trade information about you with others, but..."
She was now right in front of him. "You must show me the truth behind those eyes. You must not disappoint me, little light."
