Night & Scarf

"As for your original question," I said. "I don't know whether Akumi is an enemy or not. However, one thing's for certain and it's that he is someone to watch out for. I know he's been on friendly terms with you, but still, I want you to keep a watch on his actions."

"So that means he is neither an enemy nor a friend, huh" Ellyn mumbled. "Then that makes him a suspicious figure."

"Yeah, I guess that's the best way to address him at the moment."

"Anyway, I appreciate the information," I added, looking at her. 

"Don't mention it. I will help you, and in return, you will protect me from my father. That's our deal, isn't it?" she mentioned. 

"Hmmm, from that I remembered. Where is your father right now? Did he make it into Havenreach?" I asked. 

"Yes…" she answered. "Although my current mother could not make it, he was the only one who arrived.'

"Ah, my condolences."
