Seeing that I didn't react to their words, they eventually stopped, an exhausted sigh slipping past their lips.
"Hah… you aren't fun. Would it kill you to show some kind of reaction? I wasn't joking, by the way… I could eat you."
The next instant, a pair of fangs brushed dangerously close to my neck. The cold prickle of their presence sent an instinctive surge through me.
I twisted away, putting immediate distance between us, my hand flying to the spot where they had nearly bitten.
When I pulled my fingers back into view… there was blood on them.
A low, almost playful laugh followed. "Ahahaha, you have quite the reflexes. Seems like you're a seasoned fighter. Truth be told, your age doesn't give off that vibe at all."
The tail of their voice turned toward Luris. "Luris Glanis, you may return to whatever it is you were doing. Your work here is done… I will deal with this human myself."
I glanced at Luris. His head was lowered, his voice subdued. "As you wish, Miss Wannre."
