Running out of time

When Raze gave his answer, Alen looked down at the pocket device in his hand. It wasn't the answer that had made him react, but instead, the device that made his eyes nearly pop out from his head.

"You're telling the truth," he mumbled to himself. "But how?"

As Raze thought, the device in his hand was a rare enchanted item that could detect if a person was lying or telling the truth. Due to the question asked, Raze knew he had nothing to lie about.

"Telling the truth in this situation should also get his interest off my back," Raze thought to himself.

It was obvious as day that Alen was interested in who he was. Perhaps the conversation the two had had made Alen think highly of Raze or believe that the two of them could be some type of rival.
