Arthur met Mirel's gaze directly.
An invisible tension builds between them, one that only these two could feel.
Breaking eye contact, Arthur offered Orivelle an apologetic smile as she continued lecturing him. Then, gently placing his hands on her shoulders from behind, he steered her aside, quietly urging her away for a private word.
Mirel kept an eye on them.
He could feel it in his guts that Arthur was talking about them, or Lucivar in particular.
"Say, do you have a guess why Lucivar brought them along with us?" He suddenly asked.
Caldaros glanced at Arthur and Orivelle, before sneering in contempt, "What else? He's really addicted to killing. I'm sure he's planning on killing them, somehow. I know Lucivar crossed that guy, Arthur, in the Trading Union main branch. Somehow, Arthur piqued his interest."
"Piquing his interest is the most dangerous thing someone could do." He added.
Upon hearing this, Mirel frowned.
