This time, Girika's face lost all playfulness as she stared at me. Her eyes turned darker, those extra sponge-like antennae on her head shining even brighter. The situation was no longer fun. All plans and precautions she had set failed at this moment as my voice thundered forth.
"Do you want to continue?"
I asked with a light voice, the background of my question being answered with the low groans and cries of pain from the ones trembling down at the bottom. For a moment, Girika's eyes turned fully dark and emotionless, but soon, that was replaced with a light, relaxing smile as she raised her hands in surrender.
"Forgive me, I lost my composure for a moment, quite embarrassing, actually."
