Aspakeony herself was already waiting for Zoemi in her office, and as soon as he sat down she seated herself on top of his lap without a moment of hesitation.
"So, I've been thinking..."
She said instead of hello and looked Zoemi in the eyes with a serious expression.
"Astounding."
"...?"
Zoemi raised his brows and gasped in fake astonishment, making the gray-haired girl furrow her brows and look at him in confusion.
"...what is astounding...? I didn't say anything of importance yet...?"
She said in a concerned voice, making Zoemi feel slightly bad.
...because he of course meant that it was astounding for her to think – because she definitely didn't think about him and his plans when she made Burdoff bring him to the headmaster's office...
"I meant your cuteness up close."
"!!!!"
The black-haired boy shrugged his shoulders and blurted the first thing that came to his mind without giving it any consideration – which resulted in Aspakeony flinching in shock.
"..."
