After releasing the scammer, Gravis sighed and transformed back into his human form. He also deactivated his Will-Aura, which had still been active during the time he was thinking.

Gravis put his hand on Yersi's scaly head and stroked her for a little bit. "You don't need to worry about me," he said with a warm smile. "I won't just disappear like Orthar. I simply need some time to think about things."

Yersi felt a bit embarrassed, but she also felt relieved when Gravis reassured her that he wouldn't disappear.

"That's good. Thank you," Jake said.
