Ivory took a few steps back from where she had been standing.
She still couldn't believe her sense of sight. She did not expect the figure of the Guardian Commander now standing staring at her. Ivory looked at Cakara with a clear glint of surprise.
On the other hand, Cakara Park looks just as shocked as Ivory. The man who admired Ivory in silence took one step forward. His steps were solid, without breaking eye contact with the girl in front of him. When he was an inch away from Ivory, he immediately took the girl in his arms.
Cakara could feel Ivory's body stiffen. He knew that the girl was surprised by his unexpected action. He could feel the girl's choking breath as Cakara tightened his hug.
