Theo cleared his throat lightly before stepping out of Iris's embrace.
"Sorry," he said, slightly embarrassed.
Iris smiled faintly before tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear.
"It's alright."
After a moment, Jim casually walked over.
''Good job,'' he said, all smiles once more. ''Honestly didn't expect this crazy plan to work.''
''Who would've thought a Silver Core could actually defeat a B-rank…''
Theo scratched the back of his head lightly.
''It wouldn't have been possible without you all.''
Jim immediately shook his head, even waving him off dismissively.
''Don't undersell yourself,'' he said. ''The two of us barely did anything.''
Before Theo could even respond, Jim slung his arm over his neck and began steering him away.
''Come on,'' he whispered. ''We need to have a word.''
Theo's brows furrowed as he stared at the blond-haired young man.
''What?'' he asked, confused.
''Don't bullshit me,'' Jim continued. ''I need to know how you and Owen did it.''
