Allen tilted his head, a faint smirk playing at his lips. "Yeah? What did you expect?"
Elio chuckled, scratching the back of his neck. "I don't know. Something less… Goldborne. You've come a long way."
Allen studied him for a moment, his expression unreadable. "Thanks," he said finally. "Though I'm guessing this isn't just a social call."
"Caught me," Elio admitted, his grin widening slightly. "I just wanted to say… that demo? It was impressive. You've always been good, but seeing you like that… man, it's on another level."
Allen crossed his arms, his tone neutral. "You've seen me fight before."
"Not like this," Elio said, shaking his head. "This wasn't just gaming. This was something different."
Allen raised an eyebrow, trying to read between the lines. He wasn't used to compliments from Elio—it wasn't their style.
"So?" Allen asked, his tone neutral but laced with curiosity.
