"Ellyn?" Hazuki tilted his head back to glance at the girl sitting on his shoulders.
"Hmm? Yes?" she replied, swinging her feet lightly, as if riding a gentle breeze instead of a tired human mule.
"Do you know where Fire Grun is?" Hazuki asked. "Because this ancient puffball won't tell me anything."
Ridan shot him a glare. "Do you think I have the time—or the peace—to help you right now!?" He gestured helplessly at the cloudy spirit girl clinging to his side. "Just look at this—ah, this girl spirit keeps rubbing against me!"
Syaria nuzzled her foggy cheek against his with a dreamy sigh. "Mou~ We were a couple in life. And now, after a thousand years, I've finally found you again~"
"Ugh..." Ridan groaned, his smoky tail flicking in frustration. "This is harassment. I'm being spiritually assaulted."
"Be quiet and accept my love," Syaria hummed, arms still looped tightly around his waist.
