She softly said, "Thank you."
Steven Balance looked at her face, smiled slightly, raised his hand to tuck the stray hair on her cheek behind her ear, "Why thank me, don't you think it's strange?"
Aldana Candi lowered her eyes, "Thank you for being willing to spare their lives."
Whether he originally wanted to spare them or did so because of her pleading, it was ultimately Steven Balance's indulgence. Otherwise, with his disposition, killing those two people wouldn't be impossible.
Steven Balance said, "Since you want to thank me, why not make it practical?"
Aldana Candi slowly raised her eyes to look at the face facing her. She slowly sighed, then raised her hand to cup his face and said to him, "Steven Balance, I'm actually very tired too."
