"What is this?"
Dylan inquired. Curiosity flickered in his eyes as he stared at the figure in front of him, who averted her gaze. Pushing herself a few steps back she mumbled,
"It's nothing.....that was just...those were just my thoughts spiraling out...I don't mean them..."
"Of course, you don't. If you did, you would not surrender your position to be the queen and instead opt for running away."
"Are you being sarcastic?"

He smiled slyly as Lyra is taken aback. While sitting back in her chair, she adds,

She delivers to him some documents and continues to add,
"We have already reviewed the plan for the bridge. We also decided on the amount that each party will be contributing. The details of these things along with the economic plan will be discussed in the upcoming meeting."
Dylan keeps nodding at her every sentence as he pores over the pages. Lyra then questions,
