The Warden's voice broke his thoughts.
'Fearless.'
'Fearless? What is that supposed to mean?'
The word was random, arbitrary, and without meaning until Charon looked deeper into it.
'Is he saying that I shouldn't be afraid? He can only use one word at a time, at least for now, so maybe that's him trying to communicate that I shouldn't worry about Achlys having enemies come after me.'
Realizing there was no use questioning it when Achlys was right there, he took a steadying breath and turned to face her. His tone was friendly, but subdued, not wanting to incite her to anger.
"Hey Achlys, I just realized that since you are my summon, any enemies you have will now be coming after me as well, especially because you're only Novice 7 now. Should I be worried?"
Her silhouette shifted as if she were annoyed with the question, but she still responded, her tone curt.
