Silence.
An awkward silence filled the entire room as absolutely nothing happened after her grand 'surprise'.
William pressed his lips together, clearly holding back his laughter as he looked at the innocently serious woman in front of him.
"Where is the surprise?" he finally asked.
Thalia blinked.
Then awkwardly turned her head, as if actually checking behind her.
"Wait…" she muttered, looking slightly to the side. "Where is it?"
"What?" William tilted his head, his tone dangerously amused. "Your eight tails?"
Thalia frowned, clearly finding the whole thing strange.
"Maybe you need to say something like 'abracadabra'?" he added, teasing her even more.
That only earned him a glare. A very sharp one.
"Funny, isn't it?" she said, staring straight at him, her tone flat but laced with irritation.
'Ah… I really wish I could just slap him right and left, then compel him. Let him wake up with both cheeks burning.'
