Nerissa looked at each team member in turn, just like she had done with Rick, but this time she was looking at their emotional history instead of their power.
Nerissa looked at Zara first and said, "The Demon General Zara Bloodthorn."
"The wife of Demon King Zork... the corruption took your husband after 42 years of marriage, and you know what the meaning of loss is."
Zara then falls speechless without saying any word. It's a normal reaction when someone says something like that out of the blue.
Nerissa felt Sylvia's presence through Rick's bond, somehow sensing the Dragon Queen miles away on the surface. "The Dragon Queen... Sylvia Flameheart."
"Five hundred years ago, her mate named Therion died a hero in the war, and until then... she spent forty years alone before Rick Rolland came into her life."
"She also knows what the meaning of grief is as well."
Rick starts to feel uneasy hearing many accurate words come out of her mouth.
