Leonel frowned, his gaze landing on Aina.
Seeing her odd reaction, his heart constricted. One would have thought that her reaction was his own. To Leonel, though, Aina's happiness was practically linked to himself.
"Aina?"
Aina shook out of her thoughts hearing Leonel's voice.
"What's wrong?"
Aina shook her head and fell into silence, her body returning to normal. The little mink nestled closer to her, his little face rubbing against Aina's.
In truth, Leonel almost didn't notice Aina's weird reactions. If it wasn't for his connection with the little mink, he likely would have missed it entirely. The irony of it all wasn't lost to him, especially when he said he would pay more attention to her.
Leonel's frowned deepened. His gaze shifted from Aina to the Variant Invalid and back again.
'Is it that thing? But, Aina shouldn't have met this thing before…'
