Human?

"So delicious!"

Little Sephare munched away on her food, her small legs swinging happily. It was as though Ryu didn't notice her mother and elder brother at all. They were much less pleasing to his gaze – Gisla for actually allowing her daughter to do such a thing, and Guiot for not paying enough attention.

What would have happened had Ryu been a demon who wouldn't even let a thirteen-year-old little girl go? Wouldn't Little Sephare's life be ruined? He couldn't easily forgive such a thing.

Guiot himself was both embarrassed and stunned. He had profusely apologized to Ryu for his previous assumptions already, but what stunned him was Ryu's major personality shift. He felt that he knew too little about Ryu, but how could he? After all, they had only just met each other.

The person truly the most shocked was Ailsa. She was still having trouble wrapping her head around a kind, smiling Ryu.

The weeks ticked by.
