"That's easy...By spending time with each other. Why don't you come over to my place when you are free?" Viktor asked.

Nyissa became flustered, "Y-Your place? B-But...I have my duty—"

"Nyissa," Voroz chimed in and said, "You can protect the world from anywhere...not only here. Besides, you have been staying here for centuries. It's time you explore the world and broaden your horizons."

"Okay...I will come over when I am ready…" Nyissa said in a low voice while evading Viktor's gaze.

Voroz then looked at Viktor and asked, "Are you sure you don't want to stay here for a couple days? My people can put up a good accommodation for you and your friend. You can even explore our home and see things you might not have seen before."

Nyissa looked up to see what Viktor was going to say.
