Run Along

Xzavier was about to take another verbal jab at her when he heard approaching footsteps coming from the other side of the closed door. He looked at Adalia and immediately, she also caught the cue. So, mentally and physically, the duo began to prepare themselves to meet their host. In all of three seconds, just as the door opened, Xzavier's and Adalia's facial expressions were now blank, as opposed to the playful and relaxed expressions that had camped on their faces just a while ago.

The cups had been set down neatly as if they had never been touched. Like the wave of a magic wand, the atmosphere in the room had reverted back to its default mood- the cold perfect air that charged the room when Xzavier and Adalia had initially came in.
