Herellia did not answer Aurus' question, instead deciding to stay silent about it as an aura of hesitation surrounded her body. As for Aurus, he was radiating an aura of slight trepidation as his imagination gradually went outside its boundaries, imagining of a situation wherein Herellia would force Aurus to be silent, no matter the method used.

Fortunately, that was not the case, with Herellia letting out a sigh a couple of minutes later. At this point in time, Aurus' trepidation was at its peak, subconsciously making him roll backwards a bit as a response to the sigh. But once Herellia started talking, this trepidation dissipated in an instant, being replaced with an intense aura of curiosity.
