Fey let out a soft, airy chuckle. "Yeah, I can't really picture you as the heroic type either. You don't have that... shiny, self-sacrificing vibe."
Julian's response was immediate, shifting the comparison to a more fitting candidate. "An image like that suits Kevin better."
"Kevin?" Fey scrunched her nose, unimpressed. "He's too much of a fool to be a proper hero. He doesn't count." She then casually shifted the topic, her tone deceptively light. "Speaking of Kevin, I heard he's still dead-set on finding that girl, Nia."
Julian's steps didn't falter, but his gaze sharpened. He glanced sideways at Fey, his voice dropping to a warning tone. "Where did you hear that? Don't spread unverified information."
