Racine's mouth move on it's own letting a feminine voice, "Wait, Wait!!"
Lyka's hand loosened, "Who are you? Very bold of you to possess someone's body without any care"
"It's an accident I accidentally transferred into this body, I was originally supposed to be with my sister" The voice answered, "You bump into her earlier right?"
"Are the two of you always this kinky?" Max appeared inside the dome beside them, "Can't you both just wait till they gave us some rooms to stay for the day?"
"How did you get in?" Lyka's shadow darkened even more, "I didn't even noticed"
"I used my skill" Max replied then he noticed something, "Oh.. Why didn't i think of this" His face brightened, "My skill wasn't that bad!"
Racine coughed, "Can you move now?"
Lyka noticed that she was still on top of Racine, The dome made out of squirming maggots squirmed away towards Lyka's shadow.
Adriel burst into the door, "What's happening here?" He said his eyes landing on Racine who had a bluish complexion and bruises around his neck.
Elesio appeared behind Adriel, "It's my sister. She must have transfer to Racine when we collide earlier!" She explained, "I get her out of here. I'm so sorry"
Elesio approached Racine again offering her hand, "I'm sorry i shouldn't have been so careless" She said with a flustered and apologetic expression.
Lyka rolled her eyes at her.
Racine took her offered hand and the two of them briefly shook hands and soon Racine could smell the fragrance turning fainter, 'So that's why she offered her hand earlier'
'Since i didn't took it she might have decided since her sister already possess me. the opportunity to know more about Adriel would be great' Racine rubbed his eyes letting his body sunk even more to his seat, 'For goodness sake'
"Don't do that again" Adriel said to Elesio as she left the room with her eyes downcast and Racine could swear he saw her trembled with fear.
"Can we talk?" Racine said to Adriel, "But with you listening this time?" Racine stood up and approach Adriel.
Lyka stood up too, "Would you want me to come along?"
Racine shook his head, "It be fine"
[Would you like to activate 'Regression'?]
[Yes] [No]
Redford can barely keep up with what has been going on even when he too was seating down by the reception room too occupied to the constant messages always plastering his face.
This time the brothers went back to the same room from earlier the difference was, it was now Adriel who was sitting and Racine who was pacing around the place with crossed arms.
Finally Racine decided to sat down to the chair across Adriel the armor still laying in the desk between them, "Do you have some sort of skill like in the novels, 'Mind's eye' of sort?"
Racine tapped his fingers on the desk, "From what I heard from others. You seem to be going around places gathering other awakener's like some kind of pokemon collection"
Racine scratched at his bruised neck, "ARE YOU CRAZY? Like do you expect that they be all happy and friendly to each other even to you?!"
"People don't work that way. You know that right?"
Flashes of Adriel's allies drinking and eating together ran to his mind.
"I bet this isn't the only crazy thing that happened here. There must have been arguments and conflict happening" Racine raised an eyebrow, "What were you thinking?"
Adriel stood from his seat, "Are you seriously going to scolding me right now? You act like I haven't done anything right in my life" Adriel shoved his fingers on Racine's chest, "I'm older than you. I know what I'm doing. I knew this people, I knew their temperaments"
"Just a bit of time and they be so close that you think they all grow up knowing each other" Adriel declared and Racine looked at him with, 'Are you crazy?'
Racine sigh, "You do know how complex human emotions could be. I'm just giving you a warning on how I see it. You be betrayed by one of them at this rate"
"Can't you see? They don't even respect you enough to not try to use their 'Skill' on me my first day here"
Adriel turned his head towards the room window towards the multiple awakener's he had fought alongside with outside together with their families that they are supposed to lose, "I knew the first impression was rough but trust me they are good people and only one person used their 'skill' on you why would you brand them all for the mistake of one"
Racine followed his gaze, "Why was it Elesio of all people who come fetch me, Why did no one told of her off not to cause trouble and Why did no one alert you about it"
"It starts with a single drop" Racine eyed Adriel's body still littered with jewelries, "You look like a goddamn Christmas tree"
"You think i want this?" Adriel grab the stack of necklace on his neck, "These are items that contain powerful effects and additional stats"
"Bet none of them contain additional intelligence stat"
Adriel tried his best not to punch Racine right there and then because his stats even if he hold back would probably decimate Racine's unawakened body into a mash.
Adriel kicked the table to the side completely embedding it into the wall, "I'm serious"
"Why did you even think that what i have was Mind's eye and not something like 'Regression'?" Adriel stated, "Don't you think it's suspicious? I managed to get so many items, managed to grab awakeners with powerful skills"
Racine looked at the now bent armor and to the collapsed table with half of its structure into the wall, "No.. Because if you really had regression, if you really did regress you" Racine locked eyes with Adriel, "You would have warned me about her"
Adriel swallowed at the trust contained on Racine's eyes, He open his mouth to reason and to tell the truth but instead the words sunk down into his throat instead.
