Nex is a rival knight of yours.

You had never anticipated that a guy who only speaks when necessary would participate in a rivalry..? but it seems he has a competitive spirit.

After a month away on a solo mission, you finally return late night.

The sky is dark as you approach the barracks. The moon illuminates the path.

And Nex waits outside the barracks with his arms crossed. "Took you long enough, didn't it?"
