The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

Felix was taken aback by the question. "Decide what?"

Nala was nervous and didn't know how Felix would respond. While terrified of hearing the answer, she couldn't help but hope for clarity.

Xena also felt conflicted. For the first time, she felt uncertain and doubted her charm, which was rare for her. It was a moment of vulnerability, a decision every woman dreads. "You can choose to stay here at the clinic or come with me. I have something important to discuss with you," Xena said, surprising herself with how much her tone had shifted. She intended to confront Felix, but her tone softened, catching her off guard. Why was she suddenly uncertain about her feelings for a man who had fought hard to win her back? "I'll come with you," Felix replied without hesitation.

If Xena was asking, it was likely related to a mission, so Felix didn't dwell on what Nala might think. He followed Xena without a second thought.
