Xion subconsciously chewed on his lower lip, his finger curling into the bedsheet beneath him. He was so deep in thought that he didn't even notice the knock or the arrival of someone in his room.
"You might have died at least five times by now." Raymond Eldritch stood there, dressed in a blue knight's uniform that made him look all the more handsome. Even the sword hanging on his waist added to his striking presence.
"Hi, Ray." Xion waved listlessly. "What are you doing here? What about Rael... I mean, His Grace?"
Ray sighed lightly. This kid hadn't changed one bit. He directly slumped onto the bed next to Xion, the mattress bouncing under his weight.
"His Grace is busy. As for me... I am here for you, little rabbit."
Xion, copying Ray's actions, lay beside him. Both of them stared at the pale-yellow ceiling. Unlike the painted one back at the Marquis' mansion, this one was unadorned, devoid of color or decoration.
