"I still can't believe how much aunty changed!" she exclaimed at Erik as they walked beside each other. Ever since parting ways with Leia, she'd been unable to stop talking about it.
Smirking, Erik shrugged. "Are you really that surprised? Ankhur told you what she was like in the past, and Elora predicted her real self wasn't hidden that deeply."
"This and that are two different things!" Naeku complained, throwing her arms wide to express her disbelief. Then she suddenly turned a little more embarrassed, a slight blush across her cheeks. "She's such a pervert, too…"
"Hah!" Erik laughed. Using one hand resting on her hip, he pulled her a little closer and grinned at her. "Don't pretend you're so innocent, either!"
Naeku's blush deepened as she glared at him… Yet, after a staring contest that lasted mere seconds, she pouted and looked away. She had no good comeback to that.
Unfortunately, Erik wasn't done teasing her.
