Chased and Detained

Klautz and Verona's eyes were stuck on the duo,  following them as they left. Their line of sight soon switched to each other instead of them. There was an awkward silence.

*Cough*

"Brace up, we are going to practice your puppeteer skills!" Klautz tried to sound as formal as possible.

"Oh!" Verona squeaked but looked away the next moment, "but the puppet you gave me last time was already destroyed by the marble golem… sorry"

Klautz smirked. He had many more on him so much so that he had lost count. These were crudely made puppets anyway and weren't what the puppeteer class could do at its best. Verona had no idea what kind of nuke she was walking around with.

But soon enough his smirk turned back to a frown. There was something that had been weighing on his mind since dawn.

'Shizu might have left but 'she' must be still around.'
