Oh, shit
He's right
He whipped his head to the elf, flashing a bright professional smile. "Miss, can you lend me an essence core? Even your smallest one will suffice."
She blinked and gracefully sat down to his level (because he fell down due to the panda's slap). With a wave of a hand…a small mountain of cores splayed out.
"I do not have awakened cores, but I do have toughened ones," she said, looking at the dozen or so spherical cores the size of a man's thumb. "You can have these."
"T-This…"
"Waooo nice~" the Panda said, about to pounce at the cores. Finn's eyes twitched and he caught him, placing him on his lap so he'd behave.
"Hey! Don't be greedy. We'll just take one."
"Do you talk with your pet often?" she asked, curious. Now that she wasn't guarded against him, the aura around her had become dignified yet calm. Very beautiful.
"Hmn," he said. "Don't listen to him. I'm only borrowing one."
At this, the elf looked a bit confused. "I do not hear anything."
