Elian's POV
*****
"What's with the frown?" Axel tilted his head, squinting when he finally got in front of Elian. "Did... Something happened?"
Elian blinked, shaking his head and finally smiling. "I'm... I'm sorry about that. Yeah, something happened. I..."
He paused before he could say anything more, considering whether he should tell Axel about the cloaked figure he was chasing after leaving the indoor garden.
On one hand, he'd have the Beta on the lookout in case something went wrong. On the other hand... He didn't want to disturb Axel—
[I know you've got to be fucking playing right now. What do you mean you don't want to tell Axel what happened?]
Elian sighed, closing his eyes for a few seconds before staring straight at Axel's face.
[You make it harder for me to protect you when you make these stupid decisions. Or no decisions at all!]
Ugh…
"Elian?" Axel grabbed his shoulder just then, forcing him back to reality. "You did that thing again. Spacing out."
