"I'm not scared!" Karl huffed, tugging at the hem of his soft yellow robe with deep square pockets. The robe was cheerful—bright like sunshine—and it suited him far too well. His cheeks were a little flushed, but he stood tall, puffing his chest with pride. "Why would I be scared? I'm brave!"
Ruby raised a brow and tilted her head slightly, eyes trailing down to his legs. "Ah, I see. So your knees are just dancing out of happiness, right?" she teased, watching his legs tremble ever so slightly.
Karl glanced down and immediately straightened them. "They're… not trembling! They're warming up!" he said quickly, then muttered under his breath, "I'm just not used to wind here."
Ruby chuckled softly, her red eyes full of amusement as she adjusted the soft silk scarf tied around her neck. The sun was gentle today, casting a calm glow over the busy Soulstream set. It was Karl's very first official day.
