"Are you sure you don't want to come with me?" Lady Celestria asked sadly.
"I'm sorry, but I'll be staying here," Renard replied.
"Are you unsatisfied with my offer?" Lady Celestria pressed. "Do you want to add more conditions? I'm open to negotiations."
The flying ships of the Solara and Faelarun would be departing in three hours.

Lady Celestria had thought Renard would come with her back to her own academy, but the young man's decision surprised her.
"Your offer is actually very good," Renard said seriously. "I'm sure if I were to go, I'd have a very comfortable life in Solara."
"Then why?" The Saintess's eyes widened slightly in confusion. "You'll get everything when you come with me."
"Indeed." Renard nodded. "But THAT person will not be in Solara."
