"I am sorry, Alix, but you are really warm," she said as she wrapped her hand around him, and he smiled.

"I- I guess it's fine," he replied and she smiled.

"Thank you, that was nice," Adora said as she rose from Alix.

"Are you in pain?" he questioned, and her eyes widened as she fixed her gaze on him.

"No, I am not; why did you ask?" she asked, clenching her fists, and his eyes narrowed.
