Sunny remained motionless for a few seconds, glancing around Lightslayer's messy lair, then gave her a nonchalant smile and made a move to sit gracefully in a soft-looking armchair.
Noticing a small pile of unidentifiable wrappers occupying its seat, however, he lingered for a bit.
Eventually, he let out a sigh and summoned his own chair to sit down.
Revel gave the Shadow Chair a long look, then mumbled something under her nose and continued to glare at him.
“What do you want?"
Sunny shrugged with a smile.
“As I said, I need your help with something”
He remained silent for a short while, then added in a neutral tone:
"Imagine that there is an enemy whose name you cannot say. Every soldier you send to fight the adversary becomes one of their own. The enemy can be neither reasoned with nor killed; in order to defeat them, you must forget that they exist first. How would you destroy such an adversary?"
Revel stared at him for a while, then grimaced and went to sit on her bed.
"So, the Dreamspawn is back and giving you trouble."
Revel's tone regained the cold, threatening arrogance Sunny was used to. Needless to say, it was in dire contradiction to the way she looked.
His smile widened a little.
"See, this is why I knew that dealing with a former princess of the Song Domain — the first of them to become a Saint, no less — would be a pleasure. You already know so much."
She studied him with a dark expression, then shrugged.
“There is only one creepy Supreme whose name I was taught never to mention. Plus, Song of the Fallen recently visited to ask Seishan a few unexpected questions. It would be difficult not to know what you are talking about."
Sunny nodded in understanding.
“Still, can I ask something?"
Revel simply scowled, which prompted Sunny to give her a contemplative look. "...How does one accidentally seduce someone? And what about that duke, has he no standards?"
Revel's chilling glare instantly returned.
"Shut up!"
Sunny laughed.
Well... he understood, somewhat. Revel's Flaw prevented her from walking under the sun, and there was no electricity or network in Ravenheart. It was no surprise that she had turned a bit reclusive, passing time by engaging in the few shapes of entertainment a Saint could have easy access to in the Dream Realm.
Still, would it kill her to at least clean up after herself?
He grinned.
"In any case, yes. It has not even been two years since the Domain War ended, and now, we are facing the possibility of a new one. You play quite an important role in the military endeavors of the Longing Domain... however, at the moment, I need you more. I need someone both powerful and capable to lead the clandestine operations of my clan."
Revel smiled darkly.
“No, thanks. I am doing quite well for myself right here."
