Finding Nadja (7)

"Your eyes were so beautiful."

Ariadne winced at the sentence Draxan had just said. She swiftly patted Draxan's mouth, which was trying to develop a smile on his face. She knew what was coming afterward.

"Don't try to kiss me," she said.

Instead of being awkward, the two shared a laugh because of Ariadne's spontaneous remarks. The clear sentence was far from what Draxan would do to the girl in front of him. 

Yes, there was a moment where sometimes Draxan wanted to touch Ariadne's cherry lips with his, it's just that he realized, he couldn't do that to Ariadne.

He just wanted to praise Ariadne's transformed purple iris, just like he did when he became a fade. The red light lit up. The difference is, that Ariadne's has purple gradations in the inner and outer areas of its iris, like a shield that protects the golden color inside. 

Beautiful.

"Looks like you misunderstood," Draxan said, after recovering his voice.
