The crowd parted ways as several people approached Val.
Val looked at them and raised his eyebrow.

"You were a great help during the Beast Tide. You made a significant difference out there. I can't praise you enough," Marshall patted Val's shoulder. The young man had really made the northerners proud today.
"I just did what I thought was best," Val replied to Marshall modestly.
"I've never seen a man as fearless as you," Yona stepped forward and confessed to Val.
"I get that often," Val replied to her with a smile.
His smile made him look all the more charming, causing her to blush at his undeniable charisma.
Suddenly, Jareth appeared before Yona and Val.
