Reward

Emery was taken aback by what he just heard. He was actually not sure why he was being awarded, but the queen sort of insisted her way through by saying he should really give himself more credit.

An acolyte from the privileged class, who was willing to be involved in their matter, was to be complemented with. 

That's what the Oroboros Queen last said, before she left Emery with the siblings.

As Silva walked toward him, Emery, who was still not used to seeing her current appearance, couldn't help but get a little nervous.

With an apologetic look on her face, Silva said, "I am sorry, Emery. This is the best I can do." She smiled wryly. "My mother is set on not letting you back yet. I hope you understand."

"It's alright, Silva. I understand and thank you for your help."

Silence then fell between them, as they looked at each other. The two couldn't help but be awkward with each other.
