78. Descendant of Youenha

There was a pause filling up the steel walls in front of us, "I have never seen one before," a deep voice creaked softly, breaking the silence we created. 

I turned my head, seeing him looking at something so far away, "What is that?" I was curious. 

He  turned his head and looked at me so gently, "You really can't be judged be the cover." 

Instantly I burst into laughing listening to his joking-like utterance, "hat is wrong with me?" I asked back, "What kind of 'cover' do you mean?" He was quiet, looking at me as if to judge. 

I took a deep breath, decided to ignore his gaze, and told him, "Mickey is Antonie's cat. He asked me to look for fire lilies that could be used as an exchange to the Manji, for a request," I glanced at him. He was still staring at me.
