Alvera stayed quiet, her eyes locked on him like a hawk.
Kael continued, "And the troops? They weren't locals. Most wore Night Star's colors, but their accents were wrong. They are transporting heavy machinery."
"Did you take anything?"
Hearing this Kael smiled.
Silence stretched between them for a moment.
Then Alvera asked, voice low, "And how much of that did you take with you?"
Kael smirked. "Enough to confirm I wasn't dreaming."
She frowned slightly, then sat straighter. "So you were spotted."
"Only at the end. I was listening to their conversation while hiding in the vent.I made sure to mask my presence…Alas!I found out."Kael clicked his tongue in annoyance.
"They fired without warning. I had to ditch the cloak. Took many bullets here and there"
He tapped his side gently. "Not a bad aim."
Alvera didn't respond immediately. She watched him, measured him, then finally said
"You realize what you've stumbled into, don't you?"
