Familiar

Warlock Ch 246. Familiar

"He's… interesting," Ralvek said, his tone measured. "I've never seen him before and there's something familiar about him, wouldn't you agree?"

Lenira's eyes narrowed slightly. "Familiar? How so?"

Ralvek shrugged, his expression one of casual indifference. "Perhaps it's just his demeanor. Or maybe it's the way he carries himself, as if he's used to being in the thick of things. Either way, I can't help but feel like we've seen his kind before."

Aria resisted the urge to clench her fists. Instead, she forced a small smile. "You're overthinking it. He's a warlock—brash, confident, and a little reckless. That's hardly unique."

Ralvek tilted his head, studying her closely. "You seem very certain of that."

"I've dealt with his type before," Aria said smoothly. "And I've been in this game long enough to recognize a man trying to prove himself. That's all he is—someone who's taken an opportunity and run with it."
