As if rewarding Travis, he didn't need to restart the loop during the enemy stage.
In this loop he held the ring!
"Averoth.", Travis called.
"What? Having second doubts?"
During the numerous loops Travis experienced the mighty warrior rarely spoke. Only occasionally commenting on the might of Travis' current opponent. Such words felt repetitive to Travis, and he often paid little attention to these comments.
During the actual conversations they held, it was nice to hear the old warrior. Now this time Travis had a topic already at hand.
"What is your philosophy?", he asked directly.
The warrior crossed his arms and studied Travis, "Something's happened to you. Looking for a philosophy suddenly?"
"Too much has happened. I'm hoping your answer may part the fog clouding my mind."
"I could tell you directly. . ."
"I ask you to not play your games during this time."
