I mused.
But I was sure he had never seen one as cute as Seren.
{Friend, are you making fun of me?} Seren glanced at me, squinting his eyes with mock indignation.
I averted my gaze with a smile, pretending not to notice his accusatory stare.
{...I can feel it, you know.} He looked away with a pout.
{Alright, I was just joking.} I replied. {But you do really look cute.}
{...} He was probably deadpanning me.
Or was feeling shy since he felt my words were true.
Anyway, after letting Vance marvel at Seren for a few moments, I decided to address something that had been nagging at me. "Hey, did you... did you really hear about the assassination plot by 'coincidence'?"
Vance's expression grew confused as he looked up at me. Then, as if realizing something, his eyes widened.
He made a hesitant gesture with his free hand, shrugging uncertainly while shaking his head, which probably meant... 'I don't know'.
...I'm getting the hang of this.
