"Yeah, but you should have seen her face just now. Redder than a tomato!" Lily added, laughing.
Murphy, always quick with a witty remark, replied, "Of course, Mushu. I wouldn't dream of doing anything less. Pharsa's plan is top-notch, and I've got her back."
Pharsa, still blushing, tried to laugh off the teasing. "Alright, alright, you guys. Let's not make a big deal out of it. And you! Stop talking nonsense!" Pharsa said to Chatty.
But the group's playful teasing continued, lifting the heavy mood that had settled over them.
Just then, Cannonball said to Chatty, "Master, I think something is wrong with my eyes; I might be going blind!" Chatty, who was in a great mood, was startled by Cannonball.
"What do you mean? Let me see! Did something get into your eyes?" Chatty nervously asked.
"No, Master. You see, I just saw your girlfriend smiling and shy; I think I’m hallucinating!" Cannonball said.
