Bab 721: Heartfelt Confession (Part Two)

"Flame eternal..." Haelvia sighed... "Alright, Loki, what's this about?"

The arrogant blockhead was a member of Guild Metal Wolf, just like she was. 

In theory, he was one of the shields that guarded her left and/or right. In theory, Loki would take an arrow for her in a heartbeat... and she, the same for him.

"Spit it out, you," Haelvia urged.
