"Zeres!" Alex called out, swiftly making his way to Zeres' side. With a nonchalant grin, Alex playfully slung his arm around Zeres. "Did you leave Iryz all by herself?" he asked, his tone light. 

"Lilith is looking after her," Zeres replied. His gaze then shifted towards Alicia. The moment his gaze settled on Zeke, a quiet rage and a deep grudge smoldered in Zeres' eyes. 

Their gaze held. Time seemed to suspend, stretching out the moment as if it were reluctant to let go. Finally, breaking the silence, Zeres spoke, his voice carrying a hint of detachment, yet laced with determination. "I can assist in extending your stay," he offered, his words resonating with a quiet intensity. Despite the coldness in his tone, his sincerity was undeniable. 

Zeres' words made everyone look at him with a flicker of hope and gratitude filling their eyes, except Gav, of course.
