"Sure bet I did. How do I look?" Ka'lor'ah asked while performing a twirl.
"As usual," replied Lucius, dryly.
Looking at his unimpressed, stoic expression, Ka'lor'ah pouted for a moment when suddenly, her eyes flashed with a playful glint. Abruptly leaning closely towards Lucius, she stopped when their noses were a hair's breadth away from each other.
Exhaling a slight, warm breath, Ka'lor'ah teasingly asked, "Is my student perhaps, shy?" A teasing grin appeared on her lips.
Staring into her completely golden eyes, which were centimeters away from his own, he held his usual peace without the slightest ripple. Lucius' black eyes were reminiscent of the infinitely stretching night sky.
Cold, distant, and most of all…empty.
Seeing this, Ka'lor'ah quietly let out a sigh. Wiping the playful expression on her face, she pulled back her head and gravely spoke.
