"I would like to help, if you'll let me," Gloria spoke up, cutting Jessica short. "I know how to fight, and would like to offer my aid to the savior of the Chaos War."
"I'm no savior," Lyden said in a soft tone. Despite how famous and important his father was, Eldon knew he was also humble. He hated being treated as anything other than a normal person. "Your help will be appreciated. I would go myself, but I can't risk Varun killing her outright, and I have a meeting with the U.N. about continued relations with the Shadow World coming up."
"I was about to say," Jessica piped in with a glare for Gloria, "that I would like to help."
Eldon knew it was a lie, and that the only reason she was willing to help, was that she didn't want to be shown up by a succubus. Gloria's nod to him let him know that he was right. Could they read each other's minds? Gloria shook her head slightly. He really was going to have to watch his thoughts around these women.
