"Calm down, Little Xiu!" Aurelia smiled and said. "Don't meddle in your children's stuff, otherwise they won't grow up properly."
"Don't speak as if you've raised tens of children, Lia!" Xiu rolled her eyes in exasperation and said. "Also, this isn't a children's matter. I get that feeling."
"Quite the same here!" Arnold said, twirling a smooth pebble in his hand. "It's likely a shady deal that Amon ignored."
"But why would he do that?" Theon asked in confusion. "Isn't he with the Human Domain?"
"He's on our side, but not the Empire, really!" Arnold shook his head in response. "He cares about humanity as a whole, not individuals or the communities."
"He's twisted in the head, so even if something happens, he won't tell the emperor as long as it isn't harmful to humanity," Xiu said, giving side glances to the Academy's dean.
