Vivi simply smiled back calmly without answering.
Finally Layla looked toward me again.
"One more thing," she said. "Is Kaalseris safe?"
I nodded immediately.
"Yes. The naga homeworld is safe and stable. Your people can explain everything that happened during your absence."
Layla visibly relaxed after hearing that.
"Good."
Then she smiled faintly before stepping backward beside the old naga warrior.
"We'll move soon," she said. "There's clearly a lot we need to discuss now."
The next moment silver essence wrapped around both of them before space rippled softly and their figures vanished into the void.
I looked toward Vivi and she smiled.
"Well that was… fascinating," Vivi said while looking toward the place where Layla had disappeared. "Who would have thought the old Matriarch had a personality like that."
I nodded slightly.
"Yeah," I replied. "I guess once you become that strong, you stop caring about maintaining appearances all the time."
Vivi smiled faintly at that.
