Excuses!

Right as their eyes met, Emery could feel the atmosphere immediately tensed up, and the air was filled with heat from the fire energy gathering right above Morgana's palms. It was no question that she was furious.

"Whoa, wait, wait!"

Emery lifted up both hands with a panicked expression. Slowly, he approached the redhead girl, careful not to set her flaming temper ablaze.

Step by step, he walked closer and he dispelled the [Shapeshifting] skill in hopes that some familiarity would calm her down.

"I am sorry… No, I truly apologize for taking way too long…"

"Too long?" Morgana raised her eyebrows. "I seem to remember that you said hours, or was I deaf!?"

"It wasn't a purposeful delay, I have a very good reason for-"

"Hah!" Morgana scoffed and gave Emery a sarcastic smile. "You and your excuses, as usual."
