Kire appreciated that Ruli assumed Edward was alive. She glanced for a moment at Gavin, who looked eager to hear more about the process. "Thank you. I'll trust your and Envy's judgement on how best to go about it then." 
"And here I thought you were being sentimental when you brought that along," Narda commented.
"Well, that, too. But mostly I was hoping they could do that. Ruli's quite good at what he does."


"Mm." Narda gave her a knowing smile again, before turning to Ruli. "A pirate's den, then? Interesting. If this one is done eating before she devours everything on sight, we can go." 
"I won't," Kire replied. "I'm almost done, I'll be ready when you are." She considered telling Nard to prepare herself for Shadow-Walking, but given the giantess's near mishap with her portal today, Kire didn't mind her getting a shock.
