Lucien could barely manage a coherent response. His face was burning as he hurriedly turned around and started walking, practically dragging Zephyr along with him.
"Let's... Let's go to the right!"
His heart was a complete mess.
What was wrong with Zephyr?!
How had he never noticed that this side character was this shameless before? Or had he simply decided to torment him now that he had confessed and knew exactly how easily Lucien could be flustered?
Lucien tightened his grip on Zephyr's hand and stubbornly refused to look back at him.
The complaining dragon: "..."
Onicus sat on Zephyr's shoulder, staring blankly into the distance as it questioned every decision that had led it to this point.
Was it really going to spend the rest of its remaining time in this world watching this couple flirt in front of it? A vein seemed to throb on its head as it sneered at Zephyr.
"Heh, you seem to have forgotten that I am also here!"
Zephyr didn't respond.
