Felix quickly returned to Listina's side, where she had been waiting for him.

"Felix, I'm craving an apple."

He carved her a couple of bunnies, a little trick he used in the past to charm her. He was still a pro at it.

"It's true. Holden's calling him back. As for the sweetheart, I really wouldn't know."

Carol munched on fruit, sighing before studying Maja's expression.
