The young girl shook her head fiercely, slapping herself awake from Ryu's intoxicating scent. Unfortunately, that wasn't enough to remove the fog from her eyes entirely. Though Ryu's scent was part of it, the other part were his eyes.
In the past, a large part of the reason Ryu didn't dare to open his eyes casually was because it was very likely an individual could lose their minds looking into them for too long. Ryu's pupils held the mysteries of the heavens themselves, with them, he could see even the Fate of those around him. That wasn't the kind of burden just anyone could withstand, especially since he was no longer in the expert filled Shrine Plane anymore.
It seemed that even with Ailsa shielding the true depth of his Heavenly Pupils, it was still possible for him to shake people to their cores, especially those who were innately more sensitive than others. It seemed this little girl, despite her demeanor, was quite talented.
