If it was enough for Dygra to be cautious and wish to have a second demigod to help keep everything in line enough, then it felt imperitive to the story that he include it. So, he recollects while Sicarius takes the secondary offering of jerky, moving onto it when she’s finished the first bit and Asta pauses to sip from the whiskey as her question hits the air. “Mm, I am not sure.” But it did seem strange that they all vanished when those that had fallen asleep had woken up.
Lightning strikes as a backdrop to the tale he remembers, and he tilts his head toward her as he speaks again. “It could have been a trap, or it could have been a reveal. It is hard to say.” For those that had not fallen asleep, it had been not very climactic.
