Giving a bright smile, he looked at Irene's crystal blue eyes and said "Yeah, I let my guard down for a second and got hit from their attack. But you don't have to worry, the wound isn't deep and would quickly heal after some time".
Irene Didn't know why but she moved her gaze away the moment she realized that Simon's bright eyes were staring straight at her. "If it's light then it's good, it should heal away in no time given your recovery skills," she said in an impassive tone.
Simon locked his brows in surprise because given the way Irene spoke previously and now, there was a huge difference. If previously her ice-cold voice pushed others far away then now it no longer had that distance feeling whenever she talked to Simon.
It might be him imagining things too much but he felt like he had closed the distance between them ever so little.
