Clement and Spectre just stared at Anthony, who had been talking to them a few seconds ago, as he went from shaking his head to nodding, then smiling, and then suddenly becoming somewhat sad, as though riding an emotional rollercoaster only he could see.
They could only conclude that he was communicating with someone else telepathically at the moment.
Anthony's gaze eventually turned to them. Then, with a soft sigh, he spoke.
"Let's go meet my teammates"
Clement nodded silently. As they were about to move, Spectre raised a question.
"Should we just introduce ourselves as normal soldiers, or can we also state that we are your subordinates?"
Clement seemed to nod in agreement with the question, clearly having the same concern.
"No need to overthink it. You can introduce yourselves as both. You don't have to hide it from anyone anymore. But make it clear that you are my subordinates, and not my family's"
Anthony calmly replied without missing a beat.
"That's a relief"
