Cross popping veins made their way to Obsidian's forehead, he was meant to leave not loiter around and be distracted by some girl.

"Back off!" He said through gritted teeth, looking down at Luna so he could keep his calm.

The little girl flinched at his words, whimpering as she felt scolded. He looked like the leader of the group they were in.

"Little one," Nix's voice broke through the uneasy silence that followed.

"Uncle..." She opened her arms toward Alex.

Nix looked over at Alex at his side and a sad smile crossed his features. She reminded him so much about Aimi's desire to hold him in her little hands.

"Little one, even if I should release him over to you, do you think he's in safe hands?" Nix reasoned.

The little girl looked at her hands, then over to the trembling male she had called on for assistance.
