"The one who did all this to you and me is somewhere within that encirclement of Nightwalkers," Cassius said to the cat-girl clinging onto him for dear life. "Do you know why he's over there? I can't properly discern everything with the aura interference of those behemoths getting in the way."
Opal further tightened her soft white tail around Cassius's waist, only now realizing they had stopped moving. She looked up with watery eyes, clearly on the verge of tears.
"That was scary, wasn't it?" Cassius asked, his expression softening. "I'm sorry that I moved so fast, but could you nod your head if you know why he's over there?"
Opal lowered her head in deep thought, a scarlet blush beautifully painting her features.
After a couple of seconds, a light bulb flashed inside her mind. Her crystal-clear blue eyes sparkled as she stole Cassius's gaze. She fervently nodded, performing the action so quickly that her head almost popped off.
