Princess Kira practically lit up because the suggestion wasn't just good. It was brilliant.
She almost didn't believe it at first. It sounded like something the Orcs would never be offered, and for a moment, she worried that the humans wouldn't be happy about it because it was like giving them something that could've been an advantage.
But then Luca nodded and said, "That actually sounds great," which caused a short silence for the two orcs.
Because there was no hesitation. No second thoughts. No dramatic pause. Just that simple, open approval.
So their silence was kind, which made people wonder if reality had just shifted a little, and Kyle could understand. Because Luca could've had all the advantages, but he's been sharing them with everyone, like that was the most normal thing in the universe.
