Malakai approached the door to his room cautiously.
Yes, he had heard Nyx's voice clearly. But he was still wary. With enough mastery over blood, anyone could mimic a voice to sound like anyone they wanted.
'Go confirm if it's really her,' Malakai said in his head.
Valentine's response came quickly, sounding nervous. "H-hell no! What if it's some assassin?"
'We've gone through this before. You can't die,'
Malakai felt like pulling his hair out. This spirit was absolutely hopeless.
'How the hell did you even convince yourself to fight darkness creatures back in your day?'
Valentine went silent. And even though they couldn't share emotions directly, Malakai just knew he was hesitating hard.
But after a few seconds, Valentine reluctantly phased out of Malakai's body, then hesitantly drifted through the door.
Malakai waited, holding his breath.
A moment passed. Then Valentine phased back in. But his reluctant expression had vanished, replaced with a wide smile.
He nodded.
