The party lasted two hours longer than it should have, since people were trying their best to have conversations with Kai and wanted to do business with Elyn. He bore with it, knowing that he wouldn't have to deal with them for long.
Eventually, the banquet came to an end, and everybody went on their merry way.
"Kai!" Elyn nearly slammed into Kai with how fast she ran toward him. She frabbed his shirt collar and pulled him down to her height level.
"Uhh, yeah?"
"Why didn't you tell me you were a hero and that you're from another continent? No wonder your accent is so different from ours! You're not even from this continent!" She wasn't upset or anything, far from it. She was excited.
It wasn't every day that you got to see a person from another continent who is also the hero of their land. Kai was living proof that the outside world existed.
"Because I didn't want people to know. I like to keep to myself and not stick out unless I decide to stick out, of course."
