An overwhelming bloodlust poured out from Lumi, drenching Zephyrion entirely. Despite her small frame, she looked like a reaper that had come to harvest lives.
Yet in the face of this, Zephyrion remained unmoved.
'She doesn't know it's me.'
Before coming here, Zephyrion had, for what he considered good reason, decided to keep his identity hidden.
Right now, his face was concealed beneath a thin sheet of metal. Lumi probably saw him as a member of the Redmaw trying to sneak up on her.
Regardless, the last thing he wanted was for Lumi to find out who he was.
'I'll leave.'
Zephyrion prepared to run, but Lumi suddenly narrowed her eyes at him. She leaned forward slightly and sniffed once… then twice.
Her eyes widened abruptly. She blinked repeatedly at Zephyrion, the bloodlust around her slowly dissipating.
Then, as though realization had finally struck, her eyes lit up and she began waving her arms excitedly.
Zephyrion barely stopped himself from cursing out loud.
'How….'
