Nerith's countenance paled, and she used her body to block Laziel's sight of Zerra. Alaric was also quick to stand in front of her.
It wasn't that they didn't trust Laziel. It was about Zerra's safety after all, and they couldn't afford to gamble with her life.
Even Cassias shifted, moving very fast. However, he sensed something familiar not long after — Zerra's hand and her soft skin. Although her temperature was still very high right now.
"What's wrong with you all?" Laziel frowned.
Their gesture was indeed awkward, shielding Zerra as if there were an incoming attack.
"Don't be too loud," Cassias muttered.
The Sylvaris couple soon sensed that the figure on the bed no longer had her fox form. Zerra's feet were sticking out from the bed, and the way she slept was quite awkward.
Alaric also shushed him, making their posture no longer as weird. "Don't shout and surprise us like that."
"You will disturb Zee."
