At first, Remi was too stunned to say anything. He wasn't prepared for this question. After all, it's been so long, and Felix had never asked… So, he had lowered his guard. As a result, the sudden question took him by surprise.
It didn't last too long, though. Soon, he blinked, snapping out of it, and let out a chuckle.
"Well, you've got me," he said, waving his hand at the cauldron with the potion he was brewing, before taking a step toward Felix. "There is indeed a reason for that… Do you want to know?" he asked, lowering his voice to a whisper. It was magnetic and seductive…
And it made Felix feel alarmed. His eyes narrowed, staring at Remi with suspicion.
The thing about Remi's human form was undoubtedly a big secret. No matter how close they had gotten, Felix doubted that Remi would be so eager to reveal it to him.
Which meant that what the fox wanted to say most likely wasn't the true reason.
He knew it, but he still had to ask, "What is it?"
