"I'm sure you do," Alexander replied, "but if we are dealing with someone capable of working with demons and slipping through our lines, I am not sending one person."
Zenovia looked annoyed, but she didn't argue immediately.
Elion looked at her. "I'll go with you."
Alexander turned sharply. "No, we proceed as planned. Your task is very far from here."
Elion raised a brow. "That was quick."
"You are the most important part of the operation, while this just happens to be another task that also falls within Zenovia's domain of specialties."
Aeron pointed at Alexander. "I hate to say it, but he's right."
Elion looked offended. "You hate to say it?"
"Yes. Deeply."
Maya looked between them with a helpless expression. "This is not the time."
"It never is," Alexander muttered.
Zenovia crossed her arms. "Then send Aeron with me."
Aeron blinked. "Why did I get dragged into this?"
