"Hero… you should rest — or do you… require assistance again? I can call my shivellans and—"
"No. I'm just… thinking."
After refusing it initially, Rhys ultimately decided to rest in Hortho for a while. And even though Rhys did not really feel like it since all he did was kill and torture some people, they were still treated well by the Governess since they practically liberated their entire city.
The Governess wanted them to stay in her house, but Rhys and Malenia opted to stay inside one of the taverns instead since there were a lot of them including the shivellans and the driver, who was in dire need of rest after their long journey was interrupted by the exciting events that transpired.
Rhys, however, did not rest at all as he kept thinking of what Rheadan said to him. A human that could talk to the races of the Underworld.
Were they special like Rhys, or was the blood running through their veins allowing them to talk to the gorgons? Either way…
