After Landon left, Aiwass, holding Little Crow, suddenly said:
"I quite like this young man."
— Although Aiwass was nearly ten years younger than Landon, these rather mature words surprisingly did not feel out of place.
"Why?"
Vinesse was inexplicably somewhat dissatisfied: "Because of those compliments he gave you?"
"Because of you."
"…What?"
Aiwass's words suddenly made Vinesse choke for a moment.
"Just joking," Aiwass chuckled, "Actually, it's because he has empathy, acts cautiously, and doesn't want to bluff. He thought of those who were not rescued and remembered that Avalon previously was not very accepting of Transcenders. He directly stated that he might not be able to help me when I mentioned needing a Beyard, instead of agreeing first and figuring out how to handle it later. This shows that he subconsciously already considered how he should complete this task."
"Given your status, it's very normal for him not to bluff you."
