"...What exactly do you mean by saying that he was helping me on Nihari?" Robin asked with a peculiar smile lingering on his face, his curiosity outweighing his irritation for the briefest of moments.
"There's no need to pretend anymore, Robin Burton." Helen kept her gaze lowered, her voice calm and devoid of accusation. "I understand now that I was dragged into something far beyond my place, something so much greater than myself that it changed the course of my life forever. Looking back now, everything I once thought I understood feels laughably small."
"No, no, no." Robin waved his hand several times, still wearing that same smile. "I'm not letting you steal my victory from me." Then the smile disappeared as quickly as it had come. "I suffered too much and lost too much in that war for you to attribute everything to the Seer with a single sentence! You're making it sound as though I was simply carried across the battlefield while he did everything behind the scenes."
