Earlier, Lot had said nothing. Whether it was Leah or the newly arrived lusine, both assud he was rely a follower the kind of tag-along responsible for nial labor and heavy lifting among traveling companions.
But now, with these words spoken, everyone present was sowhat taken aback.
This didn't sound like sothing a re underling should say.
Especially for lusine.
After hearing Lot speak this way, she was utterly surprised. Her small mouth parted slightly, her astonished expression plain on her face.
How…
How did he know?
This person encased in iron knew what she liked.
lusine turned to Lot and asked:
"You... you like rainbows too?"
"Of course."
Lot gave her a firm answer.
[Rainbows are indeed beautiful, but saying I like them would be a stretch.]
[But judging by my wife's expression, she's probably scheming to recruit you too. In that case, of course I should cater to your preferences.]
[In my past life, I've listened to your voice lines. I know you love rainbows, so of course I'd ntion it.]
anwhile, these were his inner thoughts.
Beside him, Morgan, hearing his thoughts, understood why he had said it.
"This husband of hers only says things like this when it suits him. On normal rainy days, what he tells is that his favorite thing is burrowing under the blankets to sleep soundly. According to Lot's philosophy: 'If you can sit, never stand; if you can lie down, never sit.' Whenever a rainbow appears after rain, I've never seen him wake up for it. And yet he claims to like rainbows…"
"But if this is his way of persuading lusine to join our side, then it's absolutely necessary."
Morgan internally approved.
Before this, she had always been the one listening to Lot's words and then relaying them, with occasional need for aningful expressions to create certain impressions. This process was quite troubleso. If she slipped up even slightly, things could backfire.
Thankfully, whether it was Galahad, Tristan, Bedivere, or Baobhan Sith regardless of their personalities they were all honest folk at heart.
Honest people are easy to fool!
Morgan thought to herself.
Now, she wouldn't have to sche so painstakingly.
She could just let Lot take the reins.
But co to think of it, what did that husband of hers an earlier?
"I've listened to your voice lines?"
What does that an?
Had he seen lusine before? No, if that were the case, he would've told about it.
Not "listened."
The way Lot phrased it made it sound like soone had transcribed lusine's words, and then he'd read them.
Surely no one would be that bored, right?
Recording even what she likes?
Morgan was puzzled.
But for now, she suppressed her confusion.
Better to just watch Lot work his magic!
Morgan turned her gaze to Lot and lusine.
...
Having received Lot's affirmation, lusine felt as though she had t a kindred spirit.
"What... do you like about rainbows?"
Her expression even more expectant, she asked Lot.
"Well..." Lot thought for a mont, then chuckled and replied, "I like rainbows because, though they're rely the dispersion of light, they represent my yearning for beauty."
Hearing this, lusine's eyes widened to their fullest.
This...
She felt as though he had spoken the very words in her heart.
Soone actually shared her thoughts...
Even the chief of the Wind Clan, who had taken her in, wouldn't have understood this.
It was like scratching an itch right where it itched most.
lusine felt she had truly found a kindred spirit.
"What's your na?"
She asked Lot.
Lot replied, "That's a secret. But if you really want to call sothing, you can call Naless."
"Mm. Naless. Okay."
lusine nodded in agreent.
At that mont, perhaps due to the weather, after the torrential downpour, the rain ceased.
The skies cleared.
Once more, the azure sky appeared and not just the blue.
A beautiful rainbow erged in everyone's line of sight.
"This rainbow... it's truly lovely!"
lusine exclaid.
She even twirled a few tis on the rain-soaked, muddy ground.
A childlike smile of joy spread across her face.
"Mhm."
Lot nodded in agreent.
But inwardly, he was ranting wildly:
[This is the ti to be sleeping. Who'd want to trudge through mud like this?]
[Dammit, if it weren't for recruiting this lusine, who'd bother humoring this?]
[Now I finally understand how those KTV hostesses feel. Thank goodness when my friend invited to tag along back then, I was too protective of my precious virginity to go wild.]
[All for survival it's not easy!]
KTV? Hostesses? What were these new terms?
Hearing Lot spout yet more unfamiliar words, Morgan's face betrayed her curiosity.
But upon hearing the latter half of his thoughts, she imdiately realized
This was definitely not sothing wholeso.
Wait, since when did this husband of hers have friends like that?
Morgan internally facepald.
Their inner monologues went unnoticed by others.
lusine tilted her head upward, seemingly expectant.
But since it was already dusk, the rainbow soon faded.
A look of disappointnt crossed lusine's small face.
"It's a sha... it was so brief. Beauty always vanishes so quickly."
She turned to Lot and said.
"Indeed, beautiful things are fleeting," Lot agreed.
"Gather your rosebuds while you may, Old Ti is still a-flying; The flower that smiles today, Tomorrow will be dying."
Though the verse was awkwardly translated into Celtic, lusine grasped its aning.
"Mm, you're absolutely right."
lusine nodded.
"Thank you for comforting . How should I repay you?"
[No need to overthink it just acknowledge as your father.]
Hearing lusine's words, Lot thought to himself.
Of course
He didn't dare say it out loud.
