"Who are you?" The elf repeated, glaring at Blank. "I should be asking you that instead. I didn't think my mate would go gallivanting with a lowly demon after disappearing."
A muscle in Blank's arms twitched violently at the word mate, causing his claws to flex.
Blank snarled at the elf in return, his chest rumbling as a growl escaped his mouth with his teeth bared in a fierce display, ready to lunge forward and sink his canine deep into the elf's neck.
The black markings on his arms rippled faintly— reacting to his rage, but then, he heard Rukiyo's voice.
"Blank!" She called over to him, her voice echoing across the running water, shaking lightly and sounding urgent. "Don't bother with him! Come here!"
