Had he seriously said that to Fiona? It took her a while, but she eventually replied, “…Zivon, I-”
“I knew that she did something, but the fact that you looked fine when I returned made it clear that you had managed to resolve things on your own. That aside, you should already know that she’s rich, and has the connections and power to make things difficult for you. In fact, you should also know how willing she is to play dirty, and I really don’t want her getting to a point where she actively wants to hurt you.”
“It pains me to say this, but I can’t always be by your side to protect you. It’s not like I can just deal with her either since the fact remains that she once saved my life. With all that said, I’m hoping for both of you to take a step back instead of continuing to fuel your flames…”
Upon hearing all that, Xavia felt slightly distressed. True enough, he was stuck in the middle, and if anything, he was the true victim here… Understanding that, she meekly replied, “…I’m sorry for getting mad…”
“Don’t be… After all, I already knew just how jealous my little hedgehog could become…”
…Who the hell was he calling a hedgehog? Still, she had caused him so much pain that she wasn’t in the mood to retort. Instead, she simply replied, “…I was only mad because you didn’t even consider asking what she did to me first… Either way, I’ll try not to argue with her from now on. I don’t want things to be made any more difficult for you…”
“It’s completely fine to feel irked, but I just hope that you’re willing to let go of smaller incidents… If she really pushes it, however, make sure to defend yourself, alright?” said Zivon, prompting Xavia to nod.
“…I will. That aside, the light’s already green…”
“Hmm? Weren’t you planning to get out of the car?”
Buckling her seatbelt back, Xavia replied, “I won’t be getting out even if you forced me to.”
