High Priestess Lumine withdrew her hand slowly, a soft, amused laugh escaping her lips as if she found Irielle's reaction more entertaining than offensive.
The sound only made everyone tense further, their eyes fixed on her every movement, unsure if her pride had been wounded.
Yet instead of lashing out, Lumine simply tilted her head and waved her hand with an air of dismissal.
"Well, I had fun with you, little Kana. I do hope we run into each other again… hopefully, next time, you'll be alone."
She said lightly, her tone laced with hidden intent.
Kana's expression hardened.
"I don't even remotely feel the same."
For a fleeting second, silence fell, and the weight of Kana's words hung between them like a drawn blade. Then Lumine gave a soft sigh, almost theatrical, before murmuring.
"Pity…"
She turned without another word and walked away, her concealed figure vanishing down the temple steps.
