Mel sighed as her hand clutched tightly onto Lila's, noticing how her emerald eyes have not blinked even once.
Rosana followed closely, eaving the elf to guard the unconscious Knights.
"Quite a show you did back there." Mel's cheerful voice tore through the tension. "Think you've surpassed Adept rank?"
Lila remained silent, her gaze fixed ahead like a doll.
"Lila?" Her hand raised, then squeezed Lila's cheek with a playful smile. "Dazing out on me now, huh?"
No response from Lila, yet Mel could watch how her brows twitched in annoyance.
"Come on now~" Mel leaned in, whispering against her ear. "Should I start peeling you off to awake you? The skirt first, perhaps?"
"Oi!"
With a flushed face, Lila's gaze snapped towards Mel. "Let me fume properly, you dummy!"
"Hehe." Chuckles escaped Mel's lips, as she petted Lila's head. "There's my cute Lila... feeling too frustrated?"
