Atticus's expression, which had been calm and expressionless, shifted, and he instinctively moved back a few feet away from the Aegis Shield.
Atticus knew that no one in Eldoralth should be able to pass through this shield or affect it in any way, but he was both shocked and wary.
'It would explain why he's so casual about everything, but…'
Someone from a higher plane? Atticus didn't know what to expect, and that alone made him raise his entire guard.
In his mind, Ozeroth was already flaring.
'I knew it! Something about the bastard was off. I told you, bond! But you didn't want to listen. It's not too late, we can still take down this shield and teach him a lesson!'
Whisker, who had been observing, noticed all of Atticus's reactions the instant they happened. He stopped speaking, a smile spreading across his face.
"Relax, my star actor. If I wanted to bite, I would've. Long ago, in fact."
