Julie didn't bother to answer Veydran.
The straw made a faint sound as she drew the liquid up.
Ultris didn't respond to Veydran either.
He dropped into the chair beside her.
His massive frame contrasted with her relaxed pose, but somehow the two didn't seem out of place together.
He leaned back, folding his arms, and let the silence stretch.
Veydran's smile didn't fade.
He stood comfortably, as if he wasn't bothered at all by the presence of Ultris.
The easy expression stayed on his face, but his eyes shifted slightly between them.
Finally, Ultris spoke. "Just leave. If you were planning to fight us here, you should've not come alone."
"Haha, I have to agree. I came in a hurry and didn't plan for this. Now I find myself in a rather difficult position."
The words might have sounded like a concession, but the smile on his face didn't waver.
If anything, it seemed to deepen, as if he found the situation amusing rather than frustrating.
