Beata sighed disappointedly, biting her lip. Yes, a great, damn diplomat...
Gideon looked dejected beside her. He should have been a little more assertive. He knew that Beata was not used to talking to people of this caliber and was understandably confused.
“Thank you for your kindness, understanding, and generosity,” Beata finally bowed, regaining her composure.

Please accept this modest offering from all of us,” he detached “Starfall” and presented it to the tigress. “As a sign of our gratitude for your help, for your kindness. You have shown great generosity, and it would be right for us to reciprocate. This unusual blade was forged from cosmic ore by one of the most talented blacksmiths of Welfern, our leader and our battle companion. It is indestructible and can be used to strike enemies from a distance with great speed.”
“It would be very helpful to us against the dragon, but... it shouldn’t be done this way. She is right. We came here, demanding something... if it weren’t for Kilika...”
Beata shook her head. Gideon, you fool... But on the other hand, he is right.
“My friend said it well,” she nodded. “Please accept this gift as a token of our appreciation for your help.”
“And as compensation for the trouble.”
On this note, Zephyr leaves the company of the three.
