A long sigh passed her lips as Jason spoke, and the princess stabbed her eggs a couple of times before speaking. Her words were dry.] How do you think it went? [Kori exhaled again.] What’s there to talk about? My ex-lover essentially returned from the dead and I somehow managed not to throw him through a wall.

[Pushing back his plate, he ran his fingers through his hair, exhaling loudly.] He’s a valuable asset, and he’s saved our lives more times to count. That’s gotta count for something.
