Carson Flores was slightly taken aback, not expecting Killian Jaramillo to respond with such a remark.
He had certainly heard about Killian's dislike for Francisco Smith, but he hadn't expected Killian to express that dislike to him in such a way.
The tone was like complaining to a close and intimate friend, slightly affectionate.
Killian seemed to snap back to reality as well, realizing the intimacy of his own words, his fair face flashing a moment of awkwardness.
"He always finds excuses to come to me, though I've made it clear to him; he just doesn't listen," he said.
Killian sat still, speaking in a gentle tone.
Carson blinked, "Don't you just ignore him?"
Killian shook his head, "I am an Alchemist, committed to Alchemy, which mustn't be interrupted, isn't that normal?"
A sly twinkle appeared in Killian's eyes, adding a lively girlish charm to her fairy-like face, making her look much more vivid.
