Just as Xion thought everything was going great, something happened to Allen.
To others, there might not have been anything noticeable. After all, the alchemist always maintained a poker face, but after living together for so long, Xion could easily tell when something was off.
Like right now.
Allen was tense. His jaw was slightly clenched, and no matter how hard he tried to play it cool, the way his fingers curled tightly around the glass was enough of a giveaway.
If not for the quality of the glass, Xion might have seen yet another live demonstration of one shattering at a banquet.
"Are you okay?"
That seemed to bring Allen back to his senses. His grip loosened slightly, and the tension on his face eased a little. "Hmm."
Xion already felt guilty. They had spent the entire day running around the market. Who wouldn't be tired?
He certainly was, and he knew Allen must be as well. Yet he had still dragged him along.
