Ramon stood by the window in the bedroom when I got back. "How was it?" He didn't turn around, and the tone of his voice was lower than normal. "It was better than I thought it would be." I stood beside him. His gaze remained on the sky. I initially thought that Sylvira would have tried to rip my head off." He turned to face me with a smile that didn't reach his eyes. "She would not dare. The reason is that you bested her in a fair fight." "I'm not sure about that being a fair fight." I grinned in a mischievous manner. "Considering the leather armor you put on me." He chuckled. "I merely created a balance." "Sylvira seemed better." I cleared my throat. "She talked about her life with my past incarnation. Was it true that she was very close to Irun?" "They were like sisters." Ramon
