"Luciel, what are you doing?"
Elara tilted her head, watching Luciel crouched beside a patch of glowing roots belonging to a plant called Angel Wings. He looked like he was about to dig it out.
"It's fine," Luciel said, waving her concern away casually.
For a moment, he'd considered uprooting the plant to study it, but since there was only one left, he decided against it. If the flower died, it would be troublesome to replace.
"Let's try the Angel's Tears again," he said at last, his tone calm but thoughtful. "I want to see how effective it is this time."
Luciel reached out and brushed his fingers lightly across the scarlet markings that traced down Elara's cheek.
"Mm." Elara froze at the touch, her pale face blooming crimson. Her silvery eyes wavered shyly as she avoided his gaze.
"Activate Angel's Tears," Luciel said.
