At his side, Roscoe's playful jests teased at deeper intentions.

"Afraid of the ladies, Waylen? Could it be you've truly found a romantic connection?"

The words were half inquisitive, half playful, and Waylen responded with an understated smile, "Indeed, I've found a connection."

Roscoe was taken back and said, "Introduce her to us, then. I'd love to meet her.”

A knowing smile played on Waylen's Lips. Rena deserved tranquility, a world removed from this chaotic realm.
