Emery's emotions still stirred hearing her name; the foreboding message from his future self and his last meeting with Chumo made him anxious to hear about Gwen, but he kept his composure as he asked, "How is she?"
Glita's smiling response quickly brought him some relief.
"She is amazing, the best queen ever! In fact, the whole kingdom will be celebrating her 60th birthday along with the annual knight divine order tournament! Brother, you've got to come… it'll be fun!"
Emery was surprisingly reluctant. Gwen had always been among the list of people he intended to check upon, yet knowing she was fine from Glita seemed enough for now. His priority, he told himself, should be to return and check on Gaia. But Glita, being Glita, would not let go so easily.
"Come on, brother… come with me. It's been a long time since we hung out together."
