An Extra’s POV

"I wonder what she meant by that…"

Rey was busy inspecting the pots that the Hobgoblins had made while rubbing his chin and remembering what Trisha said to him.

Her last words would not leave his mind.

"Liar? Me? I mean, sure… I lied to her, but…"

Once Billy returned, he made Trisha his new sparring partner, and Rey was allowed to sit the rest out.

Trisha's rounds with Billy ended in the latter's victory, but it wasn't by an easy margin.

And, despite Trisha losing, she didn't appear sad or disappointed in the slightest.

Rey could see the sharp contrast between the face she made when Billy first defeated her and the one she made in the recent spar.

'I guess she's learning more…' Rey felt happy for her, but also threatened.

'I had to take extra care before coming here today, all because of what she said.'

Though Rey doubted that Trisha would abandon her training just to become his full-time stalker, he still had his concerns.

'No one can know my secret!' He told himself.

"G-GURRRIKA…?"

Rey's thoughts were brought back to reality thanks to the voice of the Hobgoblin who was showing him the most recent batch of pots.

'Ahh! Right… the pots!'

Rey took his time to observe the dark utensil, mumbling to himself as he did so.

"It looks nice. But… it would be better if it had handles and a cover."

Then, there was also the fact that they had to test it under heat and see how well it functioned.

'I had to take into account heat conductivity and its durability.'

That meant ensuring the Orichalcum lining was thin enough to ensure enough heat to permeate the pot and boil whatever was needed to boil.

If it was too thin, though, it could cause it to crack and leak over time.
