Lumina stared at him for what seemed to be a long time, but Axel remained unflinching, without reacting in any way; he kept looking at her expressionlessly, while the princess seemed to be having her expression change like the color of a rainbow. She eventually said with a trace of disappointment, "What happened to you?"
Axel chuckled as he replied, "Too much, perhaps."
She bit her lips and understood his vague answer as something he was unwilling to talk about. She then proceeded to ask the real question she wanted to ask: "What's going on between you and Sophia?"
Axel tilted his head in confusion, "Isn't that something you should be asking your supposedly best friend?"
Lumina almost visibly scoffed at the words of 'Best friend', but she did not elaborate further on that gesture. She shook her head as she answered, "She simply labels her interest in you as amusement. That's all she says, nothing more and nothing less."
