Vale was left alone to think on his plans while Salome and Awilix found themselves in the now fairly spacious ex-dungeon within a dungeon, repurposed as a training room.
The frightened cat, who wasn't doing her best to hide her nerves, braced for a battle, but Salome just sat on the ground and motioned for Awilix to do the same.
Awkwardly, Awilix followed, and the two sat in lotus-like positions across from each other.
Salome smiled, then recited the description Vale had told her since Awilix probably didn't know how to read her soul scripture.
"To those blinded by the brilliant path ahead, you are a stalwart shield that allows their eyes a moment of respite. What they see in the darkness you provide, whether death or life, is the beauty of an eclipse — Tell me, kitty, what does that mean?"
Awilix just narrowed her eyes, and then, after taking a few seconds, screamed her response:
"The hell are you talking about, woman?!"
