Discussing troubles

"Lila.."

Riku and Elara turned towards Lila, who had her eyebrows furrowed and a frown on her face. She seemed very uncomfortable and was talking in her sleep.

Immediately, Riku started caressing Lila's forehead and whispered into her ear.

"I am not leaving you. I will never leave you unless you want me to."

As if acknowledging Riku's soft and gentle whisperings, Lila's eyebrows slowly loosened, and her face turned peaceful again.

"That's more like the Lila I know," Riku said happily as he saw Lila's expression soften.

"Did something happen, Riku? Are the two of you hiding something from me?" Elara glanced at Riku suspiciously.

"Nothing, nothing at all..." Riku immediately denied.
