Annoyance

"You're hiding something, aren't you?"

"Who knows?"

Currently as Rose, I am lying on an ice-crafted beach chair I put on top of the Silver Sail's back. Because I wanted a part of me to have some privacy, I decided to get out of the ship and this big boy was more than happy to be used by me.

That aside, Ace is next to me with a fishing rod on hand.

"Is being an incubus making it hard for you to keep it in your pants?"

"Well, somewhat."

"So you're not going to deny it, huh."

While reeling back his bait, Ace looks at me somewhat exasperated.

"I don't know what you're trying to hide, but make sure it won't bring problems for our group."

"Yes, captain."

I know that he knows that the secret I'm trying to keep is important. That's why he's not trying to pry on it more.

"Did you really have to lay your hands on that girl?"

"T-That's... none of your business."
