Yuuto's usually confident demeanor wavered for a moment as he locked eyes with Miyu. There was a flicker of surprise, almost a dazed expression, as if seeing her had caught him entirely off guard. He opened his mouth as if to say something but seemed to lose his train of thought.
"Guildmaster?" Alister's sharp tone snapped Yuuto back to reality.
Yuuto blinked rapidly, his sly smile returning in an instant, though it was with a touch of unease. "Ah, yes, my apologies," he said, brushing a hand through his silver hair as if to regain his composure. "You were saying?"
"I was saying," Alister said, his arms crossed, "that it's good to see you here, Guildmaster. Though I'm surprised at your sudden visit."
