"A milf and her two daughters..." Rael muttered.
The moment he did, he earned a bonk over the head from Zafira.
"My bad," Rael said with a sigh. "I didn't realize I said that out loud."
"Mhm. Sure..." Zafira replied, unconvinced.
Anyhow, Alene didn't have as kind of a reaction.
"You've caused quite the ruckus back at home, Rael," Alene said, pushing a strand of her long hair back. "But I'm more curious about one thing in particular. What did you do to Reinhardt when you two went inside the pocket realm?"
"Take a guess," Rael replied with a knowing smile as he took out a familiar greatsword, planting it on the ground beside him.
He rested against it and shot a serious look at Alene and her two daughters.
"I gave him multiple chances to back down. I even offered him a truce. However, Diederich convinced him I was the ultimate enemy," Rael said quietly. "So when he approached me and tried to eliminate me, I turned the tables on him."
