Stella looked at Kyran in surprise. She was not expecting him not to dwell on the subject.

"You—," she began to say but stopped at once. "No... nevermind."

She paused for a moment before responding to his question. With a slight shake of her head, she replied "That's all I know."

Kyran studied her expression for a few seconds and said, "Alright, I'll believe you."

"I told you, I have no plans on keeping what I know."

Kyran did not react to her words and instead turned to leave.

"Wait," Stella was surprised at his sudden decision to leave. "You returned here for a reason. Why are you already leaving without addressing it?"
