"Klein el Seer, huh?"
"Yes, that's the name," he said with a smile as wind ruffled his hair. "Are you sure water is all you want?"
"Everything about you is unusual. The way your hair flickers is too dramatic; you're blindfolded, and yet you can see perfectly—you can even distinguish colors," Noelle said coldly, standing up and fixing Klein with a threatening stare.
