Kaelus nodded stiffly.
He scooped the 'trembling' Seraphina into his arms and carried her back out into the hallway.
The moment the heavy doors closed behind them, Seraphina instantly stopped trembling. She popped her head up, dropping the terrified facade completely.
"The shiny bulb is very annoying, Papa," Seraphina stated blankly, wiping a non-existent tear from her eye. "And the powdered donut needs a new perfume. She smells like dead flowers."
Kaelus let out a low, dark chuckle, kissing her forehead. "That was a good drama there, little mushroom. They suspect nothing. They believe you are a fragile, frightened rabbit."
"I am a very deadly rabbit!" Seraphina corrected.
"Indeed," Kaelus smirked.
