Ethan's "Thalassa" echoed through the phone speaker, and only then did Lysander's expression slightly improve.

Lucky for Ethan, he knew to use the name "Thalassa" - it was like a magic word for Lysander. Otherwise, Lysander's icy demeanor might have traveled through the phone and given Ethan a virtual frostbite.

Feeling Lysander's chilly vibe dissipate a bit, Ethan shifted the conversation to Lydia, easing Thalassa's nervousness somewhat. She replied to Ethan's query, "Yeah, we've known each other since we were kids, grew up in the same small town." "So, you must know Lydia pretty well. How many times has she been in love? What happened with her exes?" Ethan bombarded her with questions.

Thalassa sensed Ethan's subtle interest in Lydia, now digging into her love history.

It seemed Ethan was genuinely curious about Lydia.

Ethan was fishing for insights, trying to understand Lydia better.

As Lydia's close friend, Thalassa couldn't just make stuff up in front of her admirer.

She honestly said, "Well, I'm not quite sure. We used to hang out as kids, but after growing up, I went off to college, and she joined the army. We've lived separate lives as adults and haven't kept in touch much. I don't really know if she's dated anyone." "Ah, I see," Ethan stumbled, his plan to learn about Lydia's romantic past hitting a snag. The person who knew Lydia best had no clue about her dating history.

Now, Ethan was back to square one, wondering whom to ask next.

Just then, Thalassa's voice came through again: "Lydia served under Lysander in the army. He might know about her dating life."
