Unbothered

The first thing that came to Rise's mind when he noticed Kamille's expression was...

Did he say something wrong? He repeated what he said in his mind, but he could not see anything off with it. 

"Guild Leader," and so he repeated once more, clarifying. "I take full responsibility for what I did and..." 

Rise had to pause as he felt how Kamille's arm around him tighten, his expression growing darker. 

Wait, something was really off... but what? 

Was it wrong to take full responsibility? After all, everything was all his doing, and he did not want to involve Kamille and the guild in it. 

For him, this matter was trivial too—nothing to be really concerned about. 

Rise chose to shut up, assessing Kamille's expression while also thinking of what was really wrong with his statement. 

Just as he did so, Kamille glanced at Hayes, standing awkwardly to the side, gripping the tablet in his hand.
