After hugging for what felt like an eternity, Aisha finally pulled back in a fluster, her face flushed red.
"Okay, enough, enough, enough hugging already!" She said, pushing against Aqua's arms.
Aqua reluctantly let go, though her expression clearly showed she would have preferred to keep holding on just a bit longer.
Aisha crossed her arms and huffed, trying to regain her composure.
"So." She said, narrowing her eyes at Aqua. "Why exactly did you come here? Weren't you supposed to be at your brother's house right now?"
Aqua blinked in surprise.
"Wait, hold on." She said, tilting her head. "You know I'm staying at my brother's house? You know I've actually come back from the capital?"
Aisha gave her a smug look, lifting her chin slightly.
"Of course I know." She said haughtily. "Who do you think I am? I manage all the intelligence and security of this entire estate. I know who comes and who goes."
She waved a hand dismissively.
