Following Nephis, Sunny ascended the tall tower and found himself on a spacious balcony that served as a pier for the Chain Breaker. Neither of them had spoken about the duel, and it suited him just fine.
In any case, he had to admit that his actions had been a little naughty. He could have defused the situation by groveling a little, but chose to antagonize the pompous Legacy instead for no good reason. Explaining the sequence of events to Nephis would have been a bit embarrassing, and so…
Sunny went ahead and shamelessly pushed that responsibility onto Cassie.
Some would call such a move unbecoming, but he preferred to call it… delegation!
The Chain Breaker was floating in the air a few meters away, with a wide wooden plank affixed between its deck and the stone balcony. Several Fire Keepers seemed to have just finished loading a bunch of wooden crates into the cargo hold of the graceful vessel, and were now resting beneath the branches of the sacred tree.
