Sorry, She laughed and continued the dance. He was looking at her all throughout the dance. Finally, he got in Galkin's feet and fell.
Spat! Slavik gave a sound effect.
I'm not a bug! And get off me, peasant! The royal inside Galkin was finally awake. The girls continued dancing while the boys were a mess.
'What is wrong with me?!' Lict thought as the dance continued. It finished by the time they got up and took the formation.
Ow, He looked at his knee. It was hurting.
Are you okay? Vierne asked as she walked towards him.
Yes. I guess I've scraped my knee.
Don't you heal quickly?
That's a demigod thing.
Here's the first aid kit, Ms Sophie passed him a kit, Treat it. We don't want any infections now, do we?
It's just a friction burn.
But still! Vierne took the kit from him and took him to one corner of the dance room. There were mirrors all around.
Pull up your jersey.
You don't have to do it Milady.
It's an order.
Yes, He rolled his Jersey to his knees. It was bleeding.
Really now—You aren't that clumsy. What's wrong, Lict? She applied some antiseptic over it with cotton.
I was fine until this morning.
What happened now?
I guess I've got happy feet.
She slapped the band-aid on his knee.
Ow! He groaned.
Now listen here! She grabbed his face and brought her face closer to his, You are my partner and I've worked very hard to perfect this dance. We'll be graded together. Don't you dare mess up! You hear me?
He wasn't listening.
Milady, did you change your cologne?
Did you even listen?!
I did, He lied, Now answer me.
No, I haven't changed anything
He seemed to be thinking of something.
Lict? He gently grabbed her hair and brought his nose closer to his neck. Vierne blushed, What are you doing?
It must be that. He thought.
Oh, how romantic. Galkin stood behind them with a bottle of water. Vierne pushed Lict and ran away with the kit. She tripped on nothing and fell. You've got happy feet too. He laughed.
Shut up, damn butler!
He smiled,
'Milady, I've gained back some more powers. I can smell souls now. And you smell just like I thought you wood.'
