Intermission 3

"I found Devil, master."

"Oh? Oh?! Tell me!" Black Fang's voice rose a pitch due to her sheer excitement.

Vex involuntarily flinched. She'd been working under the woman for over 2 centuries now but she'd never seen her be even remotely happy, but Black Fang did a complete 180 after she got to know about Devil's existence. Vex didn't really understand why her master was so infatuated with the masked man like a young teen who just experienced getting her first crush, however, in the end, Vex could only shrug her shoulders and accept reality for what it was.

She then detailed her findings.

"Quinlan… Hm… Quinlan." Black Fang pondered the name, rolling it around her tongue. "Ok, I like it!" She decreed after a short bit. Vex didn't get the old woman's reaction, but it seemed the masked man got her master's approval as far as his presumed real name went. 

"Should I remain here and await his return to confirm things for good, master?"
