"Are you sure you don't wanna take with you?" Kirin said through gritted teeth, her face looking like a ferocious beast.
She had been trying to move on from the recent emotional turmoil, but now Johan just wants to leave without any explanations at all about what he was going to do with soone like Velmire.
Johan sighed, "I will explain it, I promise, but this is necessary if you want to save everyone. I can't bring you with ," Johan said calmly, in as clear a voice as he could muster.
He patted an eagle sitting on his shoulder. "Of course, through your bond with lodis, you can see if I am fine or not..." Johan said softly, his face radiating with a smile.
After venting to Olivia, everything felt peaceful. He didn't know what suddenly got into him—why he started talking about everything to Olivia—but it felt... really good. He could easily get addicted to this.
Kirin quietly bit her lips, as if she couldn't find the right words.
Johan smiled again, but this ti much more softly. "I know you're worried about ... and I'm sorry for being selfish again, even after all the big words..."
He knew she was just worried. He hadn't told her what happened to Velmire after all. Telling her about Lucifer, and that soone like Velmire died, would just create more tension—which served no purpose.
Kirin moved her hand, grabbing Johan's hand as gently as she could. Her eyes looked like she could cry at any mont.
Feeling the warmth of Kirin's soft flesh, Johan's eyes grew complex with emotion. 'What happened to her... she was never like this. Even when "I" died, she just wanted revenge.' Johan coughed awkwardly, not understanding what to do.
She brought Johan's hand closer to her face, and placed it on her right cheek, rubbing her cheek softly.
An old mory flashed in Johan's mind. Whenever Kirin got slapped by her tutor or their parents, Johan always used to rub her cheeks—so days even for hours—just sitting under a cherry blossom tree in the peaceful garden of the main mansion.
Sotis she lay in his lap, sotis he lay in hers. But the one who always needed patting was Kirin. But—
Kirin moved her other hand, placing it on Johan's left cheek awkwardly. She said softly, "...It's okay, but I don't want to lose all my hope..." Her voice still sounded childish in her attempt to sound comforting. It was like a lion trying to ow.
Johan pulled back his hand and turned around rapidly. "I promise I will co back completely fine... not even a scratch."
He focused on his back. Black sli seeped out of it—slowly it took the form of dragon's wings, almost 9 feet tall, spreading in the air.
Kirin extended her hand awkwardly, her face flushed. 'Did Johan not like it?'
Johan pulled away from it as if it was disgusting. At all tis, he at least said sothing sweet that could change the entire mood of the person.
But the promise was comforting enough.
Johan looked towards both Sebastian, standing quietly, and dazed Kirin, then—
The wings spread wide. Then with a small leap toward the sky, Johan flew, disappearing into the night sky.
lodis, with a weird smile toward Kirin, also followed—disappearing behind Johan.
Kirin's hand was left extended in the air, as if searching for sothing no one could find.
Sebastian patted her shoulder gently. "He felt the sa way... he felt the sa," he said softly, his voice sounding uncertain but hopeful.
