The team members exchanged small smiles. They had watched Moon fight throughout the day. They had seen him take down two Surpasser assassins with one arm.
They had seen him identify the dark organisation's true objective multiple times before anyone else in the arena. Whatever respect Alaric was giving him wasn't mere courtesy. It was earned.
Moon reminded them of the man they had chosen to follow.

Alaric extended his hand.
Moon shook it firmly.
After the brief handshake, they let go of each other's hands and held eye contact for a moment.
"Take care of yourself. And take care of Selene, she's under your protection now." Moon paused. "We'll be in touch soon."
"I will."
Alaric nodded once.
