"My lady... He’s still able to use his aura. That must be why he can tolerate the place’s dread and recognise your presence... Are you alright to stand? That must have startled you..."
"Huff... uh, yes... The impression was...

I am alright now. Thank you, your highness."

"... There are no guards here, yet there will be once at his jail. They use only those who can tolerate Fenrir’s hunger well but... Once we get there you will need for them to retire before saying anything again..."
"I understand... I will be careful."
"... alright... yet do recall... my presence will not abandon your side."
