When they were almost merging with the crowd, Ayen realized something. He quickly pulled the two closer. Khal and Devion turned to him, waiting.
"Is it fine to walk around without covering your faces?" Ayen inquired curiously. The two seemed not to mind at all.
"Oh? That." Devion glanced at Khal before he shifted back to Ayen, smiling mischievously. "It's fine."
"Is it?" Ayen turned to Khal, as though his words were far more believable than Devion's. And it was truly the case, especially with Devion's grin.
Khal looked around, then nodded assuringly.
"No need to be concerned."
Ayen did not know why they were so confident. But since both of them assured that being recognized did not matter, Ayen dropped it and chose to believe them.
It was not that something bad would happen if they were recognized, either.
