The Frostbound Lord asked Aksai if he planned to leave Emerald Cove and go to the Shinayin Empire.
Aksai replied that he would eventually leave Emerald Cove after breaking into the Core Formation realm. But he had no immediate plans. He wouldn't rush.
Only after he had exhausted every option to grow in the Dadangar Subcontinent would he think about going to the Shinayin Empire, or beyond. The Frostbound Lord approved of Aksai's thinking. He also said he hoped to see Aksai again in the future.
They spoke casually for a while. The Frostbound Lord asked short questions and Aksai answered them briefly, all while looking back down at the scroll he had been reading.
"Alright. And about my daughter… Do you really like each other or if it's just a fling?" Nael suddenly asked.
Without thinking, Aksai answered.
