Ria promised Arthur that she would not allow her relationship with Elias to get in the way of her mission and Arthur nodded before allowing her to leave. Once Ria got out of the room, she was surprised to see Elias was still standing outside the door and waiting for her. Ria wanted to be happy that Elias was waiting for her, but she noticed that Elias' hands were folded across his chest and there was a deep scowl on his face. Ria immediately knew that he was angry and she took a hesitant step forward.
"Elias..."
Ria only called Elias' name and she took off her blindfold and looked at him. Elias felt his eye twitch when he saw the milky white eyes staring at him. Sometimes, he would forget that Ria was actually blind and deaf because of how easily she can move around. But it is at moments like this that he remembers her condition.
Elias walked closer to Ria and Ria forced herself to stand her ground. She looked up at him as the two of them stood chest to chest.
