Excel had noted that she seemed to be retracting away from him. He thought about his appearance. Was he looking ill or something? Or had he done something to encourage animosity? His sword arm dropped to his side and he raised his eyebrows at the mention of Darrian. It certainly was a name familiar to him. He closed his eyes for a moment before opening them. [b]”Yeah, I know him!”[/b] A small smile formed on his face. [b]”During my time in Ylisse, I heard of him a couple of times, he’s the exalt or something,”[/b] Excel felt a bit of a strain on his arm already from holding this blade of his. Not too long after saying, he sheathed his sword back onto his waist.

Excel did wonder why she wanted to know though. [b]”Are you a friend of his or something?”[/b] He looked back in the direction that she came from, before turning his back to her. He examined the landscape, thinking about where Plegia would be.
