"Hello, friend!" A familiar voice made Lua jump in place, despite still being on Secim's back. He furrowed his brows and pinched the bridge of his nose, sighing.
Alas, escape was not possible from this fool… Lua deeply regretted not acting quicker.
"What, aren't you going to say hello back?" Fren said, with a cheery attitude. Lua responded in kind:
"Yes, yes, hello." Lua waved his hand, not to greet him, but to shoo him off. Fren seemingly ignored this and spoke:
"I tried to talk to father, but he wasn't there when I got back! So I left the corpse back at home and rushed down here!"
Thank God… Lua felt grateful at his circumstances. If his father declared 'There's no bloodfang tribe!' And rushed down to smite Lua for being a Beyonder, he would have died without being able to accomplish squat.
