"No dungeon," Bruce interrupted calmly. "I just need a spear art manual."
There was a brief silence.
"…A spear art manual," Bale repeated.
"Yes. The best one you have."
Another pause. Then Bale laughed.
"Wow. The Anomaly calling me for spear arts help now? I thought you specialise in daggere"
Bruce ignored the playful jab. "It's for Lily."
"Oh." Bale's tone shifted instantly. "Say no more."
"Sorry if I was prying too much with those useless questions of mine..."
Lily leaned closer, whispering loudly, "Who's that Big brother Bruce..."
"Someone who will help with your martial arts"
Lily nodded falling silent after that, though her eyes still had that excited gleam to it...
Bruce nodded slightly.
