Closed-Door Meeting (4)

Behind Velctor, Orena, the Earth Dragon Tribe's second-in-command, cleared her throat while intently looking at his back.

"What manners? It's not as if I am doing anything rude," Velctor protested, looking at Orena wryly.

"Laughing out loud for no particular reason is rude," Orena replied with a straight face.

'I see... Rather than being straightlaced, isn't she just obtuse?'
