"That was nice of you to pick me up Eclipse. But I cannot help but wonder why you did that. Huh! Can it be that you finally recognized how magnificent I am and decided to devote your life to serving me? I always knew that this day would eventually come."
The kid gave Amane the blankest stare she had ever gotten in her life. He looked agitated but his eyes gave away the worry he felt.
"Nonsense. Don't put words in my mouth like that. Who would teach me the art of beast taming if anything happens to you? My life is currently dependent on you."
The kid was not wrong but Amane was sure that he was not telling the whole truth as well.
She had a lifetime's worth of experience handling children who were dangerous and dishonest. She could read what the child did not want to say.
