"Hm~ what's this?" Flamme leaned in with that trademark fox-like smirk.
"I didn't expect to see you here, Senior Lucas~ Did you and Reina come together? Are you perhaps joining us?"
Her suspicious stare burned into the two of them.
Lucas let out a nervous chuckle and instinctively took a tiny step away from Reina, as if putting distance would somehow clear his innocence.
"N-No, not at all. I actually have another appointment. I was just passing by when I saw Junior Reina getting lost so I helped her out."
"So you were just helping out?" Flamme asked, eyes narrowing.
"Yes," Lucas answered immediately.
"Well aren't you kind…" Her tone softened for half a second before she tilted her head. "But if that's all, why are you still here?"
Lucas froze.Flamme's smirk widened.
"I was just worried that Junior might—"
"There's no need to interrogate him like that, Flamme,"
Reina cut in sharply before he could finish.
